Smart Traffic Fund

Professor Wang Jianping’s project, titled Integrating Virtual and Real-World Testing Environments for Autonomous Vehicles, has been awarded the Smart Traffic Fund, managed by the Transport Department and Hong Kong Productivity Council. The approved funding for this project exceeds HK$18 million.

Prof Wang’s project aims to develop a comprehensive autonomous vehicles (AVs) testing system to facilitate extensive testing of AVs in a controlled environment. The system comprises a simulation platform and a real-world testing site facilitated by mixed-reality technology focused on evaluating the perception, localization and planning capabilities, as well as other critical aspects of AV performance.
