During the workshops early career researchers will have the opportunity to present their research in the form of a short oral presentation and discuss their research with established researchers from the UK and Vietnam. There will be a focus on building up links for future collaborations and participants selected on the basis of their research potential and ability to build longer term links.\u00a0There will also be keynote lectures from established and well respected researchers (Prof Amurugam Nallanathan).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Newton Fund\u00a0will cover the costs related to the participation to the workshop, including: travel (both international and local), accommodation and meals. Costs for the visa, and travel insurance will be covered for UK participants; however participants will be responsible for making all the necessary arrangements. The workshop organisers accept no responsibility for any problems which may occur when the participants are in-country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Apart from the funded participants, the workshop will be open to other self-funded local and regional researchers who show keen interests in the topics.<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 10\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>The topics of the workshop will include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Smart transportation management systems<\/li>\n<li>Machine to machine (M2M) for logistics, freight RFID tracking<\/li>\n<li>Cloud-based freight data solutions<\/li>\n<li>5G networks for public safety\/emergency services in transportation<\/li>\n<li>Connected vehicles for road safety<\/li>\n<li>Monitoring\/warning systems for possible structural disasters (vibration, tilt, acceleration, deformation, cracking)<\/li>\n<li>Wireless sensor networks for transportation<\/li>\n<li>Energy efficiency in critical communication systems<\/li>\n<li>Wireless technologies to relieve congested roadways<\/li>\n<li>Real-time data processing techniques for estimation of traffic flow, density, and speed; including machine learning for transportation traffic data<\/li>\n<li>Image processing and computer vision for transportation and logistics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The workshop will also be open to other topics related to the potential solutions in transportation.
