Transportation Systems: Engineering
and Management
With the theme of “Transportation Systems: Engineering and Management”, the
Twelfth International Conference of the Hong Kong Society for Transportation
Studies (HKSTS) was successfully held on 8th to 10th December, 2007. This year’s
conference was jointly organised by the HKSTS and the Department of Systems
Engineering and Engineering Management of the Chinese University of Hong
Kong, with generous financial sponsorship from Autotoll Limited, Oasis Hong
Kong Airlines Limited and Western Harbour Tunnel Company Limited. CILTHK
was one of the non-financial sponsors of the conference.
Hong Kong is a major transportation and logistics hub of the Asia-Pacific region.
With the increasing integration of the economies of the Pearl River Delta and
South-east Asia, and increasing global market competition, advanced methods
in operations research, management science, economics and statistics are needed
for optimal planning and operation of complex large-scale multi-modal
transportation systems. Customer demands ever greater efficiency and
performance of our logistics and transportation systems, and concerns for the
environment and quality of living impose constraints on operations and
development. The search for better technology and methods that improves the

SAR Government, delivered a most thought-provoking and information-packed
Keynote Address on “Transportation Systems and Sustainable Urban Form”. In addition,
there were six plenary speeches from:
▲ Prof. William Lam presenting a souvenir to our
Keynote speaker, Ir Mak Chai-kwong, Permanent
Secretary for Development (Works).
• Professor Pravin Varaiya of the University of California - Berkeley: “Freeway
congestion, ramp metering and tolls”,

• Professor Mike Maher of Leeds University:
“Monte Carlo traffic simulation models: Can
we use them for optimisation”
• Professor Stein Wallace of Molde College
University of Norway: “The importance of
stochastics in logistics modelling”,
• Professor Dr. Stefan Voss of the University of
Hamburg: “Container terminal operations and

▲ Prof. William Lam presenting a
souvenir to plenary speaker Prof.
Pitu Mirchandani.
The other seventy-plus presentations at the conference were equally broad-based, covering the full
spectrum of topics on transportation and logistics policy and planning and their societal impacts.
The judges for this year’s HKSTS Outstanding Student Paper Award had a particularly tough task, and
eventually declared a tie for the first place! The winning papers were “A shock-fitting algorithm for
the Lighthill-Whitham-Richards traffic flow model on inhomogeneous highways” by Wenjun Sun of
the University of Hong Kong and “A model system to determine traffic-induced air pollution in highly
compact urban forms” by U Wa Tang of the University of Macau.

In the past 12 years, the HKSTS annual conference has gone from strength to strength and grown in
size and scope, to become one of the leading regional conferences in transportation and logistics.
Next year, the 13th International Conference of the Hong Kong Society for Transportation Studies will
be held on 13th to 15th December, 2008, and will be jointly organised by HKSTS and the Management

Heralding a new era in the railway
development of Hong Kong
On 2nd December 2007 Hong Kong ushered in a new era in railway transport that
promises not only growth in network but also better services and efficiencies. It
was the day of establishment of a more wide-reaching service that integrates the
rail operations of the MTR and KCR, which used to be two separate systems mainly
serving Hong Kong’s urban and sub-urban population respectively, and now
managed under one single entity — the MTR Corporation.
▲ Officiating guests launch the new route map of the
integrated railway network
The Honourable Henry Tang, the Chief Secretary for Administration of the Hong
Kong Special Administrative Region, accompanied by the MTR Corporation’s
Chairman, Dr. Raymond K F Ch’ien and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. C K Chow,
unveiled a plaque at Nam Cheong Station to commemorate this major milestone.
They were then joined by other officiating guests to launch the new route map of
the integrated network.
The merged rail network has a total route length of 211 kilometres and comprises nine heavy rail commuter lines with 82 stations serving
Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, the New Territories, and reaching across the boundary into the Mainland of China. The Light Rail network
continues to serve Tuen Mun and Yuen Long districts in the Northwest New Territories while a fleet of buses provides convenient feeder
services. At the same time, the Airport Express continues to provide fast and convenient connections to Hong Kong International Airport.
The merger places the MTR Corporation in the best position to extend its active promotion of sustainable development for both the
economy and society. An integrated railway network allows for improved planning, design and construction of new extensions, providing
the best possible connections and cost-efficiencies.
Work is progressing well on the Kowloon Southern Link and a new station on the Tseung Kwan O Line, while further planning and detailed
design is underway for the West Island Line.
The Corporation also stands poised to embark on other planned railway projects for Hong Kong as it continues to develop its business
growth strategy of building and operating railways on the Mainland and overseas.

Site Visit to Yantian International
Container Terminals (YICT), Shenzhen,
China - 6th October 2007
40 members joined the event and were received by Mr. Ray Huang, Assistance Officer in Commercial
Department of YICT and Mr. Wayne Au, Commercial Executive of Hutchison Ports South China.
Members were introduced of the background of Yantian and the latest development of the port:

Site Visit to Green Lane for Cross Boundary
Trucking - 26th October 2007
To ensure the Port of Hong Kong remains competitive with our regional neighbors, Modern
Terminals together with several stakeholder partners have spent the past few years in pushing
forward the Green Lane model. Since 30th May 2006, the Shenzhen Customs has opened a Green
Lane in Shenzhen South-China International Logistics Co, Ltd (SILC) for containers moving across
the boundary between Hong Kong and the mainland. Green Lane can help to improve trucking
economics through more efficient cross boundary trucking processes including simplified customs
procedures. Besides, it assists in the realization of Laden-in-Laden-out and two-trips-per-day
concepts.
The Institute is very much indebted to Modern Terminals Limited for inviting 42 members to take
the trip to Baoan, Shenzhen and introducing the SILC’s functions and development to the members.

transport policy committee
Council for Sustainable Development
Invitation and Response Document on “Clean Air - Clear Choices”
In its June 2007 Invitation and Response document, the Council for Sustainable Development (CSD) asked for views on road pricing as a
means to improve air quality in congested urban areas, namely Central, Wanchai, Causeway Bay, Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui (the congested
urban areas). The Transport Policy Committee of the Institute has submitted our suggestions on measures to improve air quality in congested
urban on 15th October 2007. Please find below a summary of the submission.
Summary
The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) is strongly supportive of CSD’s aim to improve air quality in congested urban areas.
• Road pricing may be one measure to achieve air quality improvements in congested urban areas. However, pedestrian schemes may be
equally or more effective at reducing traffic and could further develop attractive and vibrant street environments. Pedestrianisation
should be tried before resorting to road pricing, which will be contentious, time consuming and difficult to implement.
• Building on the CSD aim to improve air quality, CILT recommends far reaching pedestrianisation schemes in the congested urban areas
through developing
◆ sustainable street environments ◆ revitalized pedestrianisation programmes
◆ pedestrian-centred planning ◆ pedestrian priority zones
• Government should strengthen and fast track other generic schemes to improve vehicle air emissions by regulation, retrofitting programmes
and promotion of environmentally friendly vehicles.
• In the meantime, electronic toll payment should become mandatory at existing charging points, ie the toll tunnels and Lantau Fixed
Crossing, to promote smooth, safe flow of traffic and reduce emissions at these points; and to provide the technological base for any
future large scale road pricing scheme.
