IntelliDrive(SM) is a major U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT)initiative of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), aimed at building afully connected surface transportation environment via advanced communicationand information technologies. The grand vision is "to provide transformationalsafety, mobility, and environmental improvements in surface transportation".The IntelliDrive initiative envisions a networked environment amongvehicles (V2V), between vehicles and infrastructure components (V2I) or among vehicles, infrastructure, and wireless hand-held Devices (e.g., cell phones and PDAs) (V2D) that enables numerous safety and mobility improvement applications. For example,in a V2V environment, if the vehicle in front has a malfunctioningbrake light, the following drivers or travelers will be notified in real-time and take precautionary actions (e.g., slow down or change lanes); or if roadside sensors detect a patch of ice on the roadat milepost 305, drivers will be notified immediately through V2I orV2D about the situation in terms what, where, and the degree of severity, etc. With respect to improving mobility,IntelliDrive provides real-time traveler information concerningtraffic conditions, accidents, transit vehicle on-time performance, parking availability, ride share opportunities, etc.Thus travelers will be able to make informed decisions about theirtravel so to improve the individual and consequently the overall system efficiency and mobility.The main objective of this proposal is to develop the framework of aDatabase Management System (DBMS) in support of IntelliDrive applications. This means, among others, a set of services that will answer the questions:What data is relevant to answer the query? In what nodes does this data reside? How to access the data on these nodes?For further information please see the project web site:www.cs.uic.edu/~wolfson/html/IntelliDrive
