Meng Wang was born in Beijing,
China. He received his Bachelor of Engineering degree from the Department of Civil Engineering,
Tsinghua University in 2003 and his Master of Science degree from Research Institute of Highway (RIOH),
Ministry of Transport in China in 2006, with specialisation in Transport
Planning and Management.
From 2006 to 2009, Meng worked as
research associate and assistant researcher at National
Centre for Intelligent Transport Systems Engineering and Technology
(ITSC) in RIOH. There he contributed to several projects funded by the Ministry
of Science and Technology, Ministry of Transport, and local governments in
China, varying from driver behavioural analyses, system architecture design and
evaluation for Cooperative (Vehicle Highway) Systems, to ITS policy
recommendations.
From September 2009, he started
working on his PhD project - Sustainability Perspectives of Cooperative Systems
- funded by Royal Dutch Shell at the Department of Transport & Planning in
TU Delft. He worked on the development of a model predictive control framework
for a variety of autonomous and cooperative vehicle systems. Between May 2014
and March 2015, he worked as a PostDoc researcher at
the Automotive Group at the Department of BioMechanical
Engineering in TU Delft on the project ¡°Truck Merging Support - a Step towards
Autonomous Driving¡± funded by the Dutch Technology Foundation (STW).
From April 2015, he works as
Assistant Professor at the Department of Transport & Planning, TU Delft,
while remaining involved in projects related to automated
driving systems at the Department of BioMechanical
Engineering, TU Delft, as Guest Researcher.
Meng's main research
interests are driver behaviour modelling, control approaches for intelligent
vehicle systems and traffic flow theory in relation to intelligent vehicles.
