Best paper on transportation
Tang Junqing won the best paper award at the 19th COTA International Conference of Transportation Professionals for his paper on assessing the resilience of road transportation systems.
PhD researcher Tang Junqing won the best paper award at the 19th COTA International Conference of Transportation Professionals (CICTP) for his paper titled external page A Bayesian network approach for assessing the general resilience of road transportation systems: A systems perspective.
The paper assessed the general resilience of the road transportation system in Bejing, China, from 1997 to 2016. A Bayesian Network Model (BNM) based on function-oriented resilience framework and ontological interdependence among 10 system qualities was proposed to probabilistically assess the system. The proposed BNM is a promising tool for multi-dimensional and systematic analysis, instead of finding a one-size-fits-all quantification criterion for resilience.
The external page CICTP took place from 6 - 8 July 2019 in Nanjing, China. It is a leading international academic conference that gathers transportation professionals worldwide who are interested in contributing to or gaining a profound understanding of transportation development in China.
Tang Junqing is from the Resilience Metrics and Outliers module at the Future Resilient Systems (FRS).
