Introduction
1. Target of Research
Transportation is necessary in our daily life and economic
activities for the movement of people and goods. Many
transportation problems, such as Traffic congestion,
insufficient public transportation system capacities,
management of Transportation facilities for efficient
movement of people and goods etc., are increasing these
days. To solve these problems for a better life, we need to
analyze the actual phenomenon then make a plan based on the
investigation. From the lessons learnt from past, and
concerning the present and possible future problems, it is
challenging to set research themes from the traffic
engineering and transportation planning points of view, and
finally recommend the transportation systems that are useful
for everyone.
2. Research Theme
The Transportation and Urban Engineering Research Group
(TUE@YNU) conducts research on various areas such
as movements of people and goods, various transportation
modes, various transportation facilities as well as the
integration of transportation planning with urban planning.
The researches in our laboratory are dealt under the point
of view of traffic engineering and urban transportation
planning. We also investigate international progressive
approach of transportation policy or urban planning.
The main
research areas are as follows:
-Traffic capacity analysis
-Public transportation
management
-Transportation demand
management
-Travel behavior study
-Relation between city planning
and transportation planning
-Methodology of urban
transportation analysis and investigation
-Traffic accidents
-Pedestrian
-Bicycle
-Transfer behavior at the node

3. Research Seminar
TUE@YNU
exposes students to the various coursework and researches on
various urban transportation issues and problems providing
broad knowledge of transportation on its engineering,
economic and social aspects.
Student痴 individual researches
are progressed through individual discussion with professors
as well as regular laboratory seminars. Students report on
research theme, the research progress, methodologies,
concrete data and analysis results etc on those regular
intra-laboratory seminars.
4. Others
It is study unit which organizes
various activities such as workshop, seminars, the joint
seminars with other Universities, and various study tours in
various domestic areas as well as foreign countries
frequently. During summer vacation, whole laboratory members
spend several days on field visit which is more or less like
study CAMPING. Several parties such as Welcome Party to new
students, Farewell party to graduating students, Semester
End party, Year End party, New Year party etc. are also held
for improving the interpersonal communication among student
and staff in their daily life activities.
