Study Subject(s):Future Urban Mobility Systems
Course Level:PhD
Scholarship Provider: Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART)
Scholarship can be taken at: Singapore

Eligibility:
Student must have graduated with an undergraduate degree at the level of a first class or second uppers (equivalent).

Scholarship Open for International Students: Yes

Scholarship Description: The goal of the FM IRG is to develop, in and beyond Singapore, new paradigms for the planning, design and operation of future urban mobility systems. Innovative urban mobility systems, aimed at both passengers and freight, will materially enhance sustainability and societal well-being on a global scale.

This is a particularly opportune time to address this topic due to a confluence of relevant developments: major advances in computing, communications, and sensing technologies; the great progress that has been made in recent years in our ability to model, evaluate and optimize urban mobility systems; the growing importance of environmental sustainability issues; the aging of physical infrastructure in developed countries and the need for massive new infrastructure in less developed ones; and the vast economic stimulus that can be provided by the modernization and renewal of urban mobility systems worldwide.

The FM IRG will:

-harness and enhance promising networked computing and control (NCC) technology-enabled innovations that may contribute to improved future urban mobility;
-develop decision models that can be applied to support various novel mobility concepts, such as the pervasive use of real-time information, mobility-on-demand services and green logistics;
-investigate the potential and impacts of these innovations and decision models;
-and assess their implications for urban development and urban planning organizations and institutions.

The concrete project is the following: Real-time Path Tracking/Predictions and On-Demand Route Guidance Under Uncertainty Develop algorithms that use real-time data to:

(i) track and predict paths in dynamic transportation networks
(ii) provide on-demand route guidance under uncertainty.

How to Apply: Please send detailed curriculum vitae, statement of research interests, three references, and relevant publications (if applicable) electronically to: Prof. Justin Dauwels(recruitment-at-dauwels.com)

Established in 1995 by the New Zealand Government to reinforce links between New Zealand and the US, the Fellowships provide the opportunity for participants to gain firsthand knowledge of public policy in New Zealand, including economic, social and political reforms and management of the government sector. Three to four Fellowships will be awarded each year.

* to build a network of public policy experts on both sides of the Pacific, and encourage ongoing policy exchange between New Zealand and the United States.

Fellows will be based at a relevant government agency in Wellington and carefully paired with a leading policy expert who will serve as their mentor. In addition, they will be expected to spend a substantial part of their Fellowship in contact with other relevant organisations to gain practical experience in their field in New Zealand. These contacts may include an extended or part-time placement.

Candidates are expected to have made contact with the organisation(s) in New Zealand they wish or expect to be placed with, prior to applying. Final decisions on placement will be made by the Fellowships Office, after full consultation with Fellows, host organisations, and the programme
