Qiuzi Chen
Logo MSc. Student

I am currently a MSc. student working under Prof. Ran Tu in Southeast University, from which I also obtained my BEng. degree in Traffic and Transportation. In this September, I will join HOMES Lab at EPFL as a Doctoral Assistant under the supervision of Prof. Kenan Zhang.

My research interests include
  • mobile sensing for urban environment monitoring
  • AI-empowered air quality data-driven service
  • human-oriented mobility system design and operation

Modeling Urban Brake Wear Particle Emissions: A Ride-hailing Case in Chengdu, China
Modeling Urban Brake Wear Particle Emissions: A Ride-hailing Case in Chengdu, China

Qiuzi Chen, An Wang, Shunyao Wang, Haobing Liu, Luyang Gong, Ran Tu# (# corresponding author)

Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment

Brake wear particle (BWP) emissions, a major non-exhaust source of urban air pollution, will be regulated under Euro 7 standards. However, current knowledge on quantifying urban BWP emissions and their spatiotemporal variations is insufficient. This study incorporates an operating-mode-based modeling framework with large-scale ride-hailing trajectories and local survey data from...

Cost-effective Electric Bus Resource Assignment Based on Optimized Charging and Decision Robustness

Qiuzi Chen, Chenming Niu, Ran Tu#, Tiezhu Li, An Wang, Dengbo He (# corresponding author)

Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment

This paper explores a cost-efficient resource assignment for urban battery-electric-buses (BEBs) considering decision robustness based on the optimized charging plan. A network flow model was proposed to minimize the operation cost with mixed fleet, nonlinear charging and the constraint of charging station capacity. A sensitivity analysis was implemented using samples...
