Problem addressed

The Transport Department has deployed various systems for traffic management. This real-time traffic signal control system can collect data for smooth deployment in the associated applications and systems.

Innovation
  • A multi-sensor platform for traffic data collection.
  • A traffic analytics platform based on Vissim, a microscopic multi-modal traffic flow simulation software.
  • A real-time dynamic traffic control platform that adjusts signal timing based on traffic conditions.
Key impact
  • Enhance mobility by reducing delays and stops at road junctions.
  • Minimise adverse environmental impact by reducing gas consumption.
Award
  • Silver Medal in the 50th International Exhibition of Inventions Geneva in 2025
Application
  • Traffic Management
Logistics and Supply Chain MultiTech R&D Centre (LSCM)

Logistics and Supply Chain MultiTech R&D Centre (LSCM) was founded in 2006, with funding from the Innovation and Technology Fund of The Government of the Hong Kong SAR, and is co-hosted by the University of Hong Kong, the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. It aims to strengthen the local logistics sector and related industries by providing a one-stop resource for applied research and technology transfer, and to reinforce cooperation between the industry and research institutes to bring about meaningful and significant impact on the industry and the community. 

LSCM serves the industry by initiating research projects, contract research, as well as providing business matching opportunities, technology transfer and intellectual property commercialisation. LSCM initiates technology and knowledge transfer to the marketplace to promote industrial digitalisation, facilitate technology advancement and strengthen Hong Kong’s position as a leading logistics and commercial hub.
