The HKIE Innovation Awards for Young Members 2012 With an aim to encourage our young members to develop their creativity through innovative application of engineering knowledge, and to inspire upon them to develop their intellectual and career interests in engineering, the Institution is pleased to launch the HKIE Innovation Awards for Young Members at 2008, a new initiative with the generous support of the family of the late Ir Kenneth Au-yeung. The entry can focus on any areas of engineering disciplines within the context of the HKIE. There are two main categories, namely Category I - An Invention and Category II – An Innovative Application of Engineering Theories. The innovativeness of the Design will be assessed based on its originality and creativity. This year, the Grand Prize of Category II goes to Ir Simon S C Tang. Category II – An Innovative Application of Engineering Theories Innovative Application of Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) Technology in Train Dynamic Performance Monitoring by Ir Simon S C Tang Conventional monitoring of train dynamic performance using electric sensors suffers from complicated and costly instrumentation and is also labour-intensive. The conventional method is consequently not a user-friendly solution for continuous train dynamic performance monitoring. Although enormous effort has been put into researching an alternative, there has been no breakthrough until the development of this fibre bragg grating (FBG) system. The track-based FBG system enables fully automatic and continuous monitoring of train ride comfort and wheel load balance in a cost-effective manner that cannot be achieved with the conventional method. This FBG system is now installed on the MTR network and has effectively facilitated continuous monitoring of train performance and the scheduling of maintenance works. By saving cost and improving service quality, the system has brought benefits to the rail operator as well as the public. Ir Simon Tang received his BEng (first class honour) in Electrical Energy Systems Engineering and MSc (distinction) in Electrical & Electronic Engineering from the University of Hong Kong. He has worked in rolling stock design, project and maintenance since his graduation in 1999 and is currently the Depot Engineer for the Rolling Stock Maintenance Department of MTR Corporation. This year, Certificate of Merit of Category I was presented to Ir Paul W F Li, and Certificates of Merit of Category II were presented to Ir Ken H Y Lui, Ir Sum Kin-fat, Mr Ma Chi-wai and Mr Sham Chi-ming.
