CPS: Medium: Vehicular Cyber-Physical Systems

本研究的目的是开发技术，以提高道路运输基础设施的效率和安全性。该方法是开发基于位置的车辆服务，结合车载计算机、车载设备、移动电话和路边监控/监视系统。由此产生的车辆网络物理系统（CPS）可以通过智能行车减少旅行时间，通过确定更环保的路线和通勤时间来节省燃料和减少碳排放，通过检测道路危险来提高安全性，通过智能收费改变驾驶行为，并启用基于测量的保险计划来激励良好的驾驶。本研究开发了用于预测旅行延迟建模、基于反馈的路由和道路危险评估的分布式算法。它开发了隐私保护协议，用于捕获和分析数据，并将其用于诸如拥堵感知收费等任务。它还开发了一个安全的宏任务软件运行时基板，以确保算法可以集中编程，而无需显式地对每个节点单独编程，同时确保运行第三方代码是安全的。研究的重点是可重用的方法，可以使多种车辆服务受益，并调查从车辆CPS工作中吸取的经验教训可以推广到其他情况。道路运输是现代社会面临的一个巨大挑战，这项研究可以帮助解决这个问题。汽车供应商、零部件开发商和市政当局都对部署表现出了兴趣。该教育计划包括向当地K-12学生提供服务，并从CPS的角度开设一门新的交通本科课程，这将涉及使用该项目收集的数据的学期项目

The objective of this research is to develop technologies to improvethe efficiency and safety of the road transportation infrastructure.The approach is to develop location-based vehicular services combiningon-board automotive computers, in-car devices, mobile phones, androadside monitoring/surveillance systems. The resulting vehicularCyber Physical Systems (CPS) can reduce travel times with smartrouting, save fuel and reduce carbon emissions by determining greenerroutes and commute times, improve safety by detecting road hazards,change driving behavior using smart tolling, and enablemeasurement-based insurance plans that incentivize good driving.This research develops distributed algorithms for predictive traveldelay modeling, feedback-based routing, and road hazard assessment.It develops privacy-preserving protocols for capturing and analyzingdata and using it for tasks such as congestion-aware tolling. It alsodevelops a secure macro-tasking software run-time substrate to ensurethat algorithms can be programmed centrally without explicitlyprogramming each node separately, while ensuring that it is safe torun third-party code. The research focuses on re-usable methods thatcan benefit multiple vehicular services, and investigates whichlessons learned from this vehicular CPS effort generalize to othersituations.Road transportation is a grand challenge problem for modern society,which this research can help overcome. Automobile vendors, component developers, and municipal authorities have all shown interest in deployment. The education plan includes outreach to local K-12 students and a new undergraduate course on transportation from a CPS perspective, which will involve term projects using the data collected in the project
