  1. Spatio-temporal Information in Intelligent TransportationSystemsOuri Wolfson Bo XuUniversity of Illinois, Chicago

  2. Miniscule impact of IT on travel experience • Routing • Real-time public transport (e.g. bus-tracker) • Autonomous driving • Fleet Management Software • Car navigation systems (payment for info)

  3. Why? • Distributed/mobile system of unprecedented scale • Incentive mechanisms / business models • Conservative community

  4. Intellidrive http://www.intellidriveusa.org/ A V2V, V2I, V2D communication infrastructure that will provide information about all roads all the time

  5. Intellidrive (VII): A Federal Initiative • Vision • Integrated system of Billions of mobile and static sensors • to enable a broad range of safety and mobility services • Approach • Convene a “VII Coalition”— • auto manufacturers, • state transportation authorities, • USDOT— to work through issues in the technical, policy, business models, Source: FHWA

  6. Safety applications • make a driver aware of unforeseen vehicles, road conditions, and hazards: • Vehicle in front has a malfunctioning brake light • Vehicle on crossroad is about to run a red light • Patch of ice at milepost 305 • Vehicle 100 meters ahead has suddenly stopped

  7. Efficiency/convenience/mobility applications • on-route traffic and weather conditions, • What is the average speed a mile ahead of me? • Is the upcoming pavement wet there? • Are wipers/fog-lights on there? • Are there any accidents ahead? • gas station location and prices, • parking availability and prices, • transit vehicle on-time performance • What taxi cabs are there around me? • Multimodal trip planning and execution. • Optimization by time, distance, cost

  8. Analogy: Infrastructure => Entrepreneurship - 15 years ago, the advent of the internet/WWW fostered New companies, Products Services Most couldn’t be foreseen when internet infrastructure established - Vehicle communications will foster similar growth New companies, Products Services

  9. Research Issues

  10. IntelliDrive Applications Platform • Develop a platform for building applications • A software architecture • Interfaces • Tools • Services that enables easy application-development • Analogy: Internet (IntelliDrive) and WWW (CTS platform)

  11. Routing, Navigation, Tracking • Up-to-the-minute • travel time and • incident information • Involves information search, stream management, integration • Data models and optimization criteria • Multiple modes such as train, bus, car, bicycle • Minimize (exposure to) pollution • Optimal routes when everyone has up-to-minute congestion info?

  12. Other IT research issues • Abstraction of concepts from spatio-temporal sensor data streams (semantic location activity inference) • Mobile P2P data management • Query processing in MANETs • Bandwidth and energy constraints • Social networks and crowd-sourcing
