Plenary Session 1

Hiroaki Miyoshi is the Professor at Graduate School of Policy and Management, and Faculty of Policy Studies, Doshisha University. He also serves on the board of the Mobility Innovation Alliance Japan.
He had worked at a major private think tank company for ten years, conducting researches and making policy recommendations on a broad range of issues as a researcher, before joining Doshisha University in 2003.
His research interests include public economics and welfare economics. He was one of the leaders in two 2nd phase SIP-adus research projects - Study of Socioeconomic Impacts of Automated Driving Including Traffic Accident Reduction (2018-2021) and Research on Assessment of the Impact of Automated Driving on Society and the Economy and on Measures to Promote Deployment (2021-2023) conducted by the University of Tokyo and Doshisha University and involved in the researches including diffusion simulation of automated drivings, estimation of automated driving’s effectiveness in reducing traffic accidents, and automated driving’s impacts on Japanese industry. Part of the research results will be introduced in the book titled Acceptance and diffusion of connected and automated driving in Japan and Germany which will be shortly published from Springer Nature.

Prof Dr Ir Bart van Arem was appointed a full professor of Transport Modelling at TU Delft in 2009 has served as Pro Vice Rector Magnificus for Doctoral Affairs of TU Delft since 2021. From 2003-2012, he was part-time full professor at the University of Twente. From 1991-2009, he worked at TNO. Bart van Arem has an MSc (1986) and PhD (1990) degree in Applied Mathematics at the University of Twente, the Netherlands. As Pro Vice Rector for Doctoral Affairs of TU Delft, he is responsible for the appointment of supervisors and co-supervisors of all PhD researchers at TU Delft, the installation of doctoral committees and the processing of cum laude proposals and requests to obtain the ius promovendi. He is responsible for the proceedings during doctoral examinations and formally appoints the chairs of doctoral committees. He teaches at BSc, MSc and PhD level on transport modelling and intelligent vehicles. He chaired over 100 MSc theses and yearly chairs 10 MSc final thesis committees. He was the promotor of over 20 PhD theses and serves as promotor of 10 ongoing PhD theses. His research focuses on analysing and modelling the implications of intelligent transportation systems, such as automated, electric and shared vehicles. Such implications may vary from changes in driving and travel behaviour, traffic flows in networks and modal change, road and IT infrastructure and the spatial design of urban regions. His research has a strong modelling and simulation component based on empirics wherever possible and always with users of the research in the back of his mind. https://research.tudelft.nl/en/persons/b-van-arem/publications/

Prof. Dr. Matthias A. Hein (Diploma in Physics 1987, Doctoral disseration on microwave superconductivity, Dr. rer. nat. 1992, Habilitation 1998), started his academic career at the University of Wuppertal, Germany, with superconductor research for mobile and satellite communications. Following a 13-months British EPSRC Senior Research Fellowship at the University of Birmingham, he joined the TU Ilmenau in 2002 as head of the RF and Microwave Research Laboratory. He has founded the multi-purpuse automotive antenna test range “virtual road – simulation and test area” at the Thuringian Center of Innovation in Mobility at TU Ilmenau. His research focus is on antennas and microwaves for intelligent automotive wireless sensor and communication systems, over-the-air testing, and virtual test drives. He has co/authored about 650 publications and provided over 70 invited talks, supervised 48 doctoral, 102 Master, and 91 undergraduate projects. His research has attracted a cumulative funding of about 20 MEUR. Matthias Hein is a Member of VDE since 2003, a senior member of IEEE since 2006, and board member of various committees and international conferences. Since 2021, he is the Director of the Thuringian Center of Innovation in Mobility at TU Ilmenau.

Matthew W. Daus, Esq. currently serves as Transportation Technology Chair at the City University of New York’s (CUNY) Transportation Research Center of The City College of New York, where he conducts research, and continues to be extensively published as an expert on ground transportation regulation and technology. As a CUNY Distinguished Lecturer from 2010-2018, he taught courses on transportation history, policy, sustainability, for-hire regulation and technology. Mr. Daus also continues to serve, since 2009, as President of the International Association of Transportation Regulators (IATR), a non-profit educational peer group of government transportation regulators from around the world promoting best regulatory and innovative practices. Mr. Daus is the longest serving Commissioner/Chair/CEO of the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC), where he served from 2001-2010. Prior to his tenure as Commissioner, Mr. Daus served in many other executive and counsel positions in NYC government for almost 20 years, including: General Counsel to the TLC and the NYC Community Development Agency; Special Counsel to the TLC and NYC Trade Waste Commission; NYC Human Rights Prosecutor; and Commissioner of the NYC Civil Service Commission. Mr. Daus is a partner at Windels Marx Lane & Mittendorf, LLP, where he founded and chairs the Transportation Practice Group since 2010.

Dr. C. Y. David Yang is the President and the Executive Director of the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. Previously, he was with Federal Highway Administration, United States Department of Transportation. Dr. Yang has co-authored numerous peer-reviewed journal articles, conference papers, and research reports on subjects related to vehicle technologies & automation, traffic safety, operations, and planning. An ITE Journal article he co-authored won Institute of Transportation Engineers’ 2015 Traffic Engineering Council Best Paper Award. He is an associate editor for the Journal of Intelligent Transportation Systems: Technology, Planning, and Operations and a member of the editorial board for the International Journal of Transportation Science and Technology.
