Smart Traffic Fund approves four projects
*****************************************
     The Transport Department (TD) today (January 22) announced that the 23rd batch of the Smart Traffic Fund, this one involving four projects, has been approved by the Management Committee, with a total grant of around $24.4 million.

     The four approved projects in the latest batch cover:

(1) a machine learning-based driving performance analysis assistance system using multimodal sensor technology and in-vehicle video analysis applicable to driving tests;
(2) an end-to-end intelligent driving system applicable to the logistics industry;
(3) a real-time driver attention monitoring and alerting system based on analysis of physiological data from wearable health-tracking wristbands; and
(4) a tailor-made bus automatic emergency braking system design for Hong Kong's road and traffic conditions.

     Details of the projects are available on the Fund's website (www.stf.hkpc.org).

     The Fund accepts applications throughout the year to provide funding support to local organisations and enterprises for conducting research and applying innovation and technology, with the objectives of enhancing commuting convenience, enhancing the efficiency of the road network or road space, and improving driving safety. All applications are considered and assessed in batches by the Management Committee, which is chaired by the Deputy Commissioner for Transport/Planning and Technical Services, and comprises representatives from the Government, experts in the industry and relevant stakeholders.

     The TD appeals to interested organisations and enterprises for participation to help make the Fund a success and to build Hong Kong into a more liveable and sustainable city by driving Hong Kong toward a new era of transportation.
 
     Application details are available on the Fund's website. For enquiries, please contact the Hong Kong Productivity Council, the Secretariat of the Fund, on 2788 5536 or stf_sec@hkpc.org.
