SWJTU’s Supporting Institution (Lead): School of Information Science and Technology

The International Cooperation Research Center of "Communications & Sensor Networks for Modern Transportation" was approved by MOST in September 2015, and is the first national-level international science and technology cooperation base approved to SWJTU.

The Center, headed by professor Fan Pingzhi (chief scientist of the 973 Program, gainer of the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, and an IEEE Fellow), currently has 24 members.

In terms of the research results, the concept of low/zero correlation zone presented by the research team of the Center has symbolized the exploration of a new direction for communication signal design, and its relevant concepts and technologies have been incorporated into the international standards of wireless communication; the HST onboard WiFi has been put into trial operation on Guangzhou–Kowloon Railway; the multidimensional research in photonic devices and systems has gained international recognition; the distributed Brillouin reflection technology and fiber grating sensing technology have been used for the safety monitoring of tracks; and the concept of security management and control based on software-defined network has been applied to HSR and big data centers. In recent years, the research team of the Center has published more than 10 works, applied for more than 40 national invention patents, and published hundreds of SCI papers on global top journals of IEEE.
