Research profile and academic experience

Profile

I am Zhangcun Yan, a lecturer in the School of Traffic and Transportation Engineering at Changsha University of Science & Technology.

I received my Ph.D. in Transportation Engineering from Tongji University. My research focuses on traffic safety, intelligent transportation systems, causal discovery, multimodal artificial intelligence, and mixed-traffic interactions.

My research aims to improve traffic safety and mobility through high-resolution trajectory data, computer vision, causal trajectory data, computer vision, causal analysis, machine learning, and intelligent control.
