(香港，2023年3月23日) 政府建議透過調整三條過海隧道收費以改變駕車人士出行習慣，從而理順過海交通，紓緩過海隧道的擠塞情況，並將為三條隧道訂立不同時段不同收費方案。香港工程師學會歡迎有關建議，有關方案建基於數據模型，以科學為本，並利用新科技優化交通管理，這亦是學會長久以來，建議香港推動智慧城市發展的其中一個重要環節。
香港地少人多，經濟活動頻繁，運輸基建項目都應以善用資源、路盡其用為原則。學會支持政府現時建議的收費調整方案，認為有助壓抑和分散繁忙時段的過海車流，善用過海隧道的容量，以體現有關原則。
學會相信新方案將有效紓緩過海隧道繁忙時段交通擠塞的問題，改善通勤人士用於交通方面的時間，無形中提高社會生產力，將有效改善空氣環境質素，對各界均有裨益。
當過海隧道交通擠塞獲得改善，從前受影響的一些非過海交通關鍵道路交通亦將得以紓緩，未來推展其他項目時，有更多靈活的交通方案可供選擇，有利社會發展。
隨着未來「易通行」的廣泛使用，更有利將不同時段不同收費的技術應用在一些非隧道的繁忙路段。學會建議政府適時審視電子道路收費系統在香港的使用，以進一步協助紓緩香港道路在繁忙時段的擠塞情況，學會樂意與政府當局分享專業意見。

The HKIE Grand Award 2023 - Innovation Category
Sub-category I - An Invention
Awardees: Ir Dr Tong Zhang, Ir Dr Chui Ho Kwong Samuel and Ir Chui Si Kay Peter
Submission: A customisable in-manhole sampling robot for sewerage surveillance
A conventional sewage sampling device is designed to be installed on the ground and may cause inconvenience to road users. The newly invented in-manhole sampling robot is compact enough to be installed inside a manhole. In addition, the sampling time is programmable via a mobile app. Coupled with the Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT), the sampling robot can achieve real-time operating condition through remote cloud monitoring. With this invention, sewage sampling can be carried out “anytime, anywhere” throughout the city’s sewerage network. It has been widely used in the SARS-CoV-2 virus sewage surveillance of Hong Kong during the past two years and has contributed significantly to the fight against COVID-19.
With its potentials to survey different biomarkers in sewage enable public health monitoring, and detect emerging infectious diseases, this device may prove essential to our smart city development in the future.
