9月23日，应建设工程学部交通运输学院刘锴教授的邀请，新加坡国立大学（NUS）孟强教授来我院开展学术交流。孟强教授在交通网络建模分析、物流网络分析以及交通设施风险评估等多个领域的研究得到整个交通行业的瞩目和认可，目前担任国际著名学术期刊Transportation Research Part E 主编和Transportation Research Part B副主编。
孟教授针对“不确定价格影响下政府部门自动驾驶车辆激励方案设计”的问题，从交通系统优化的视角给出了优化思路，在固定预算下通过部署自动驾驶车道和提供自动驾驶车辆购买补贴实现系统最优。该研究结合了规划问题和政策研究的思路，从系统优化角度开展自动驾驶车辆的激励设计，帮助大家更加透彻地了解不同类别用户的车辆选择行为，同时理解了基于线性逼近的混合整数线性规划求解方法。孟强教授的讲座深入浅出，引人入胜。
讲座期间，孟教授与交通运输学院师生进行了深入的交流，了解了我校交通运输领域的研究方向与科研进展，并介绍了新加坡国立大学的院系设置，讲解了交通领域在新加坡国立大学工程学院、商学院、理学院、计算机学院的不同研究方向以及本科生、研究生、博士生的培养方式，并就双方未来两校之间学生联合培养表达了合作的意向。
