2014年12月24日，应机械与车辆学院交通工程系高利教授和智能车辆研究所陈慧岩教授的邀请，美国加州大学伯克利分校张维斌研究员访问了机械与车辆学院。

　　张维斌研究员首先在车辆重点实验楼学术报告厅做了关于智能车辆控制与智能交通的学术报告，介绍了美国智能车辆研究的状况、美国车联网和智能车辆之间的协同、美国智能车辆的实际应用情况以及PATH项目的研究内容及进展。

　　随后，张维斌研究员在陈慧岩教授、高利教授的陪同下，参观了智能车辆研究所和智能交通、交通信息采集、运输与物流以及人-车-路信息交互综合试验平台。

　　参观结束后，双方针对智能交通，智能车辆信息交互、控制方法，车联网等问题进行了深入的讨论和交流。双方还就bob手机在线登陆与加州大学伯克利分校在智能车辆及智能交通领域的人才交流、科研合作以及实验室共建方面进行了交流、讨论。 

　　访问结束后，张维斌研究员与陈慧岩教授、高利教授及实验室教师在bob手机在线登陆研制的智能车辆前合影留念。 

　　附：张维斌研究员介绍

　　WEI-BIN ZHANG is a Research Engineer and a Program Manager at the California PATH Program, Institute of Transportation Studies of University of California at Berkeley (UCB). Between 1980 and 1986, Wei-Bin was a Lecturer at Northern Jiaotong University. In 1987, Wei-Bin joined Institute of Transportation Studies and participated in the early founding of the California PATH Program. Wei-Bin has become a national leader in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) research. Between 1987 and 1994, his primary research is in the area of Advanced Vehicle Control and Safety Systems (AVCSS) technologies, among which he developed magnetic guidance system concept that was later adopted for various applications worldwide. Between 1994 and 1995, he was the Technical Director of National Automated Highway Systems Consortium (NAHSC), led by the U.S. Department of Transportation and General Motors. He was responsible for overseeing the technical activities of the overall program. Wei-Bin later managed the preparation of the ‘platoon’ demonstration for a U.S. Congress-mandated national technical feasibility demonstration of Automated Highway Systems in 1997. Since 1997, Wei-Bin worked with California Department of Transportation, U.S. DOT and local agencies to establish various research and deployment programs at PATH and led the efforts to transform PATH from a Caltrans-focused research program to an entrepreneurial multi-faceted applied research and development organization, obtaining and delivering many internationally-renowned ITS research projects. Wei-Bin has published over two hundred papers and reports. He served on various Technical and program committees for TRB, ITS America and APTA. Wei-Bin is a senior member of IEEE and is currently a member of Board of Governor and the Vice President for Conference of IEEE ITS Society. In late 2014, Wei-Bin was awarded an elevation to the grade of IEEE Fellow.  This award comes with the citation "For contribution to cooperative highway automation system," in recognition to his scientific leadership on numerous projects at PATH throughout the years.
