Introduction

Dr. Zicheng Su is a distinguished researcher at Tongji University. His research interests include road network traffic control, intelligent connectivity and vehicle-infrastructure cooperation, and "artificial intelligence + traffic management and control". He has published more than 10 SCI papers in domestic and foreign journals such as *Transportation Research Part B* and *Part C*, and was invited to give a plenary report at ISTTT, a top conference in the transportation field. He serves as Chairman of the Road Network Traffic Control Committee of the World Transport Convention (WTC), and a reviewer for several international journals/conferences including *Transportation Research Part C* and *IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems*. He was selected into the 2023 Shanghai Talent Program, and currently presides over a Youth Fund Project of the National Natural Science Foundation of China and a CCF-Didi Gaia Cooperation Project.
