Dr.Kwon and Qian travelled to Jeju Island, Korea for the 2nd International Conference for Road Engineering (ICRE) Held from Oct 4 to Oct 7, 2022.
Dr. Kwon gave a well received presentation on how machine learning and geostatistics methods can be integrated to provide a continous view of road surface conditions. His presentation generated great interest from the audience, which lead to indepth discussions surrounding the topic.
Qian was also able to present his research on developing an image-based friction prediction model as well as Mingjian's work on automating the detection of snow coverage using deep learning models. His representation generated several exellent dicussions regarding the feasibility of the proposed method. As a result of his exellent presentation, he won the best paper award for this year's ICRE Conference
