Since its establishment in 1995, the Department of Transportation Engineering of South China University of Technology has successively established master's programs in transportation engineering, transportation undergraduate major, first-class discipline of "transportation engineering", doctoral program of "traffic information engineering and control" in two disciplines and master's programs in transportation engineering. The discipline of transportation engineering has become the only discipline in South China with the ability to train master's and doctor's degrees in transportation.

The Department of Transportation Engineering has traffic engineering teaching and research section and transportation teaching and research section, and two research institutions, namely "Intelligent Transportation System and Logistics Technology Research Institute" and "National Intelligent Transportation Technology Training Network-Guangzhou Center", have been established. There are 19 full-time teachers, including 4 professors, 4 associate professors, 4 doctoral supervisors, 7 master supervisors and 11 teachers with doctoral degrees. It has trained more than 45 undergraduate graduates, more than 1 master graduates, more than 3 doctoral graduates and more than 5 engineering master graduates for the society, with multi-level talent training qualifications and abilities from undergraduate to doctoral.

the department of transportation engineering has carried out in-depth scientific research in the research fields of traffic information collection and processing, road traffic control and management, traffic safety and traffic environment, traffic modeling, simulation and optimization, traffic monitoring technology, intelligent transportation system, road toll system, highway electromechanical facilities design, urban public traffic planning, road traffic planning and management, comprehensive transportation, passenger transport system and transportation enterprise management, and has achieved a number of representative innovative research results. In the past five years, he has undertaken more than 5 major scientific research projects such as the National "863 Plan" project, the National Natural Science Foundation, and the major scientific and technological key projects of Guangdong Province, and has obtained nearly 5 million yuan in scientific research funds. Nearly 3 academic papers have been published, of which more than 9 are included in the three major indexes; Won 5 provincial and ministerial prizes, including 1 first prize, 3 second prizes and 1 third prize; Obtained 2 invention patents and 6 utility model patents; Published 2 textbooks and 4 monographs; And realized the transformation of many scientific research achievements. The Department of Transportation Engineering has been closely combining with the development needs of the transportation industry in Guangdong Province, focusing on scientific and technological research and innovation according to the traffic conditions in Guangdong Province. The research results have been highly endorsed by domestic counterparts and made positive contributions to the traffic construction and management in South China.

in terms of scientific research, the department of traffic engineering, relying on traffic engineering, traffic information engineering and control, traffic planning and management, control theory and control engineering, and with the support of high-level university construction projects such as "211" and "985", has set up a discipline team of "traffic information engineering and control", including "intelligent transportation system", "traffic planning and management" and "expressway".

in terms of discipline construction, the department of traffic engineering has the qualifications and abilities to train undergraduate students in traffic engineering, master students in traffic information engineering and control, master students in traffic planning and management, master students in traffic engineering and doctoral students in traffic information engineering and control, and has established a discipline team of "traffic information engineering and control". It consists of three academic teams: Intelligent Transportation System, Transportation Planning and Management, and Expressway Information Engineering and System Optimization and Simulation. It is the key construction discipline of the National "211 Project" and the discipline platform of the National "985" Project, and has built research institutions such as Intelligent Transportation System and Logistics Technology Research Institute and Guangzhou Center, a national intelligent transportation technology training network.

Institute of Intelligent Transportation System and Logistics Technology:

The Institute of Intelligent Transportation System and Logistics Technology was established in 2. Based on the disciplines of traffic engineering, logistics engineering, traffic information engineering and control, traffic planning and management, control theory and control engineering, two research teams of intelligent transportation system and traffic planning and management were established. It is one of the research units of China's ITS system framework "Tenth Five-Year Plan" organized by the Ministry of Science and Technology and is in the leading position in the domestic intelligent transportation field.

National Intelligent Transportation Technology Training Network-Guangzhou Center

National Intelligent Transportation Technology Training Network-Guangzhou Center is the only intelligent transportation technology training center in South China entrusted by the National Intelligent Transportation System Coordination Steering Group Office and the Highway Science Research Institute of the Ministry of Communications (National Intelligent Transportation System Engineering Technology Research Center) according to the national key scientific and technological project "Construction of Intelligent Transportation System Social Environment System". The headquarters of the Center is located in the School of Communications, South China University of Technology, which has a strong faculty and experimental conditions. According to the needs of training objects and contents, the Center also invites leaders of relevant departments in the transportation industry and well-known experts and scholars at home and abroad to give lectures, and organizes internships in developed regions and advanced provinces and cities.
