Tarek Sayed, 英属哥伦比亚大学（UBC）杰出教授，加拿大工程院院士、加拿大工程研究院院士、加拿大国家首席科学家(Tier 1)、加拿大土木工程协会会士。主持全球20多个国家道路交通安全重大科研课题，科研经费超过3千万美元，发表学术论文400余篇(其中顶级期刊论文250篇)。荣获ITE Wilbur Smith杰出交通教育家奖、加拿大交通协会Centennial Road Safety Award终身成就奖、英国王室Prince Michael 国际道路安全奖，加拿大土木工程学会Sandford Fleming奖、加拿大交通运输协会Gilchrist奖章。
Tarek Sayed is a distinguished professor and a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair of Transportation Safety and Advanced Mobility at the University of British Columbia. He has a distinguished research track record in transportation engineering and has received a high number of honors and awards. In 2004, UBC granted Dr. Sayed the title of Distinguished University Scholar, an honor held by a very small group of professors at UBC. Beyond several best paper awards, he also received the Sandford Fleming Award from the Canadian Society of Civil Engineering “for a member who has made particularly outstanding contributions to the development and practice of transportation engineering in Canada” (2009), and the Award of Academic Merit from the Transportation Association of Canada (2010) “in recognition of long-term contribution to the advancement of the academic field and the development of tomorrow’s transportation leaders.” In 2011, he received the Wilbur Smith Distinguished Transportation Educator Award for outstanding contributions to the field of transportation engineering from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). In 2014, he was awarded the Centennial Road Safety Award from the Transportation Association of Canada. This one time award recognizes his outstanding transformational and long-term contributions to road safety over the past 100 years. And in 2015, Dr. Sayed received the Prince Michael International Road Safety Award for the most outstanding international road safety initiative. He is also a Fellow of the Engineering Institute of Canada, the Canadian Academy of Engineering, and the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering and was the editor of the Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering for 8 years.
During his research activities, he has addressed a wide spectrum of transportation system applications with a focus on traffic operation and safety, Intelligent Transportation Systems, and the application of information technologies. He supervised to completion more than 100 Master and PhD students. He is the author or co-author of more than 400 journal and conference papers, including 250 published in the leading international journals. As well, he has completed numerous consulting projects in traffic operations and safety in North America and internationally.
报告摘要：
Urban transportation seems to be on the cusp of a new era of “Smart mobility”. The application of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) will lead to interconnected road infrastructure, travelers and transportation modes resulting in higher safety, enhanced mobility, and minimum adverse environmental impacts. New technologies such as connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) are expected to provide considerable social and economic benefits. As well, the availability of a tremendous amount of real-time data “Big Data” is expected to completely change the ways in which urban transportation systems are designed, built, operated and maintained. One particular area that can benefit significantly from the application of advanced technologies is road safety. The importance of reducing the social and economic costs of road accidents cannot be overstated as 1.35 million people are killed annually in road crashes and many more are severely injured. The application of innovations that are both progressing and disrupting the status quo represents an opportunity for improved transportation safety. However, with the introduction of new modes of mobility and the complex interactions created by these different technologies within the transportation system, governments will need to rely on advanced research and analysis techniques to support policies towards the transition to these new forms of mobility. All these issues will be discussed and several methods and techniques developed in this area will be described with example projects from several agencies worldwide.
