Prof. Shaoquan Ni has served as the director of the Institute of Transportation Information Technology since 2000 and the executive deputy director of the Nationwide Railway Train Operation Diagram Compilation Research and Training Center since 2010. He is a member of the Academic Committee of Southwest Jiaotong University and one of the outstanding experts with prominent contributions in Sichuan Province. Prof. Ni has demonstrated a long-term commitment to the study of computer-aided train operation diagram compiling and is now the leader in this field in China. He creatively proposed the "single-line and double-line in one" computer graphics unified algorithm ideas and established a set of technical methods based on the group coordination of the train operation diagram. And the railway train operation diagram compiling system presided over by Prof. Ni was recognized by the Ministry of Railways (China Railway Corporation) as a unified computer-aided train operation diagram compiling software, which was the technical means for compiling and managing the national railway train operation diagram in the past decade. And he has received the Zhan Tianyou Railway Science Achievement Award, Mao Yisheng Railway Science and Technology Award, and nearly 20 provincial or ministerial scientific and technological progress awards.
