On the morning of December 10th, the super network academic salon of the Hujiang Economic and Management Forum (Phase 19) was held in Meeting Room 910, Building A of Economy & Management Building. The academic sharing guests are Huang Beijia, a Shanghai Oriental scholar and professor of School of Environment and Architecture, and Dr. Wang Ke, a young lecturer of the Business School. The salon was presided over by Professor Gan Hongcheng, deputy director of the Super Network Research Center. Salon themes revolve around sustainability. Professor Gao Guangkuo, Business School, Associate Professor Qin Bingtao, Liu Shengti, Liu Weiwei, young staff Dr. Lu Zhi and other faculties and graduate students attended the salon.

First of all, professor Huang Beijia made an academic report titled “full life cycle based green product design and evaluation, mainly introduced how to take account of the affect of materials’ selection, production, sales, usage, recycling, processing on the resources and environment, in the phase of products design and development,  according to the concept of the whole life cycle, and strive to in the whole product life cycle minimize resource consumption, as little as possible or do not contain toxic and harmful substances raw materials, reduce pollutant production and emissions. 

Subsequently, Dr. Wang Ke brought an academic report entitled Activity-based Travel Behavior Modeling and Analysis, which first introduced the relationship between travel behavior analysis and traffic planning and policy, and then shared the modeling and analysis research of the departure time selection of activities. Dr. Wang pointed out that the monotonic decreasing non-efficiency term distribution assumption in the traditional stochastic frontier model does not necessarily be consistent with the actual activity departure time selection behavior. The traditional stochastic frontier model is improved, and the empirical research of activity travel data from Shanghai, China and Houston is used to verify the rationality of the improved model. 

During the discussion, the faculties, students and guests had heated and in-depth discussions on many cutting-edge hot topics in the field of sustainable development under the background of dual-carbon, and exchanged academic ideas from different disciplines, and generated many thinking sparks. The salon ended successfully in a warm and pleasant academic atmosphere.
