About the Smart Mobility Research Cluster
The Smart Mobility Research Cluster at the GREAT Smart Cities Institute (GSCI) applies artificial intelligence and machine learning alongside micro-simulation and agent-based simulation modelling to complex urban transportation challenges.
Through research in traffic management, public transport, planning, and operations, the cluster seeks to advance intelligent and data-driven approaches to urban mobility in Hong Kong and beyond.

Prof. Hong K. LO, JP is an accomplished scholar in intelligent transportation systems, smart cities, and sustainability. He developed the first-ever agent-based dynamic transportation model for Hong Kong, which has been adopted by the industry for network service planning. His research on signalized roundabouts has also been adopted for implementation. He serves on the editorial boards of several leading international transportation journals and has been recognized among the Most Cited Researchers in Civil Engineering (ARWU) with an H-index of 55 and over 12,000 citations.
