RAPID: Monitoring the Response of Transportation Cyber Physical Systems in the Wake of Hurricane Sandy

该提案旨在收集关于桑迪飓风后纽约市交通基础设施物理响应的易腐数据。 它使用了一种新的基于智能手机的人在回路的众包传感技术，称为“TurkicTurk”。TuricTurk是一个智能手机应用程序，使智能，人类？飓风桑迪的后果代表了观察运输网络响应于物理基础设施（由于洪水和天然气短缺）和网络基础设施（由于交通控制设备的电力损失）的显著损失的瞬态行为的难得机会。该项目收集的数据将与全国各地的研究人员共享，将有助于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。 潜在的好处包括改进对未来灾害的准备和反应。

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.
