This proposal is to collect perishable data on the physical response of the transportation infrastructure in New York City following Hurricane Sandy. It makes use of a new human-in-the-loop smartphone-based crowd-sourcing sensing technology, called TrafficTurk. TrafficTurk is a smartphone application which enables intelligent, human?centric sensing of traffic flows during extreme events.The aftermath of Hurricane Sandy represents a rare opportunity to observe transient behavior of a transportation network in response to a significant loss of physical infrastructure (due to flooding and gas shortages) and cyber infrastructure (due to loss of power for traffic control devices). The data gathered by this project, which will be shared with researchers across the country, will enable study of how traffic dynamics evolve after a major disruption to the cyber and physical components of a transportation infrastructure system. Potential benefits include improved preparedness and response to future disasters.

这项提议是为了收集有关飓风桑迪过后纽约市交通基础设施实际反应的易腐烂数据。它利用了一种新的基于智能手机的人在环中的众包传感技术，名为TrafficTurk。TrafficTurk是一款智能手机应用程序，能够在极端事件期间智能地、以人为中心地感知交通流量。飓风桑迪的余波代表着一个难得的机会来观察交通网络在物理基础设施(由于洪水和天然气短缺)和网络基础设施(由于交通控制设备断电)重大损失时的瞬时行为。该项目收集的数据将与全国各地的研究人员共享，将使人们能够研究交通基础设施系统的网络和物理组件发生重大中断后，交通动态如何演变。潜在的好处包括改善对未来灾害的准备和反应。
