Applications

This page highlights software demonstrations and applications developed by our team for smart mobility systems.

Large-scale On-demand RIde Service Simulator

The large-scale simulation platform supports model training and evaluation for ride-sourcing operations on real transportation networks. It can simulate agent behaviours and vehicle movements, and provides portals for testing optimization and reinforcement learning algorithms for on-demand matching, idle vehicle repositioning, and dynamic pricing.

Taxi Idle Cruising App

A substantial share of taxi operating time is spent on idle cruising while searching for passengers. This app recommends idle searching and cruising routes for taxi drivers in Hong Kong to mitigate supply-demand imbalance and improve operating efficiency. The recommendation algorithm is supported by tailored reinforcement learning methods.

Charge Express

By 2025, HKG plans to expand the number of charging stations to 5,000, nearly doubling the current amount. This app allows users to easily find the locations and details of both charging stations and taxi stands. It provides navigation and guides users on the best routes to these sites, helping them avoid wasting time.

Charging Station Optimization Tool

This tool is specially designed for charging pile operators. It can calculate the optimal location, number, capacity and cost of charging piles based on real traffic data in Hong Kong. The tool also supports optimization based on user-defined budgets, optimized focus on electricity, layout size and other elements.
