Mobility-oriented, Operations, Visualization & Environment System — a flagship research and innovation platform advancing traffic safety, net-zero transport, and smart city development in Vietnam.
Mobility-oriented, Operations,
Visualization & Environment System
MOVE advances traffic safety, net-zero emissions, and smart city development in line with UEH's 2025–2030 Strategy, strengthening UEH's role as a leading University-City Innovation Hub in Asia.
MOVE System is developed by the Institute of Smart City and Management (ISCM) at the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH). Its core objectives are to conduct applied research in road safety, urban mobility, rail systems, and low-carbon transition.
The System supports project-based education and develops fit-for-purpose technological solutions to generate robust, evidence-based insights that directly support decision-making and policymaking at city and national levels.
Four integrated laboratories · ISCM · University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City
Each lab addresses a distinct dimension of the urban system — from human behavior on the road to carbon in the air — while sharing tooling, data, and people across MOVE.
Road safety research for Vietnamese road users — using gamification, immersive VR, eye-tracking, and machine learning to build hazard perception, safe behaviours, and evidence-based policy insights.
→Intelligent transport and sustainable urban mobility — integrating TOD planning, MaaS, smart traffic operations, and last-mile EV micro-mobility through AI-driven simulation and real-world pilots.
→Rail systems capacity-building through simulation testbeds — rolling stock mock-ups, signalling simulators, PTC/CBTC modules, and SCADA systems for modern rail operations and maintenance.
→Carbon transition science — quantifying and controlling emissions through air quality modelling, urban digital twin, and energy efficiency analytics toward net-zero urban mobility in Vietnam.
→Faculty, researchers, and PhD candidates from ISCM and partner institutions worldwide.
