This publication explores the use of GENI (Global Environment for Network Innovations) to address real-world problems in transportation by enabling virtualization and simulation of vehicular sensing and control networks. It discusses the benefits of using existing vehicles and at-scale simulation, as well as the long-term deployment of virtualized VSC (Vehicular Sensing and Control) platforms. The paper also highlights the various GENI capabilities, such as wireless and sensing virtualization, and the engagement of opt-in users for research and experimentation.

Real-world problems drive maturity & sustainability of GENI.
Next-generation transportation • Networked vehicle operation as new paradigm of transportation • Large-scale, permanent deployment of research-only vehicles infeasible in general What if Existing vehicles + at-scale simulation?
GENI helps • Virtualization enables non-interfering concurrent access to resources • Help engage vehicles from opt-in users • GENI racks enable at-scale simulation • WiMAX and VLAN connect at-scale simulation with field vehicles, enabling at-scale, high-fidelity emulation
Long-term deployment of virtualized VSC platforms At-scale emulation in GENI racks
Multi-dimensional VSC network emulation Wireless channels Application traffic Mobility Vehicle mobility
Enabling new GENI capabilities • Virtualized VSC platform • Wireless and sensing virtualization • Engaging opt-in users and enabling cross-discipline fertilization • Real-world vehicular sensing • OpenXC sensing of vehicle internal state and operations • Camera sensing of vehicle external state • Enabling VSC application emulation • Engaging opt-in users
GENI wins too • Stress-test GENI capabilities • Infrastructure and tool support for end-to-end experiments with multiple resources (i.e., racks, VLANs, WiMAX networks, VSC platforms) and multiple control frameworks (i.e., ORCA, OMF) • GENI long-term sustainability • Opt-in user and researcher engagement • GENI impact on broader research community such as DOT • Virtualized VSC platform • Research findings in predictable, real-time VSC networking
End-to-end GENI experiments for VSC emulation • Opt-in users • GENI sustainability • Virtualized VSC platform Technical Contact: Hongwei Zhang Wayne State University hongwei@wayne.edu
