The Planning Grants for Engineering Research Centers competition was run as a pilot solicitation within the ERC program. Planning grants are not required as part of the full ERC competition, but intended to build capacity among teams to plan for convergent, center-scale engineering research. A revolution in multimodal transportation systems is underway thanks to emerging connectivity, data analytics, and automation technologies. This promises to transformative roadway transportation (cars, public transit, and freight), rail, ports, and airports. While this evolution of transportation promises great benefits, it also brings new challenges, particularly risks from automation and cyber-enabled technologies. This project facilitates the planning of a research center, dedicated convergent research, to develop new concepts for connected transportation system safety and security through a series of workshops, bringing together broad stakeholder communities from transportation systems and from cyber-physical systems security. These workshops address several interrelated strategic objectives for future transportation systems: (1) assessing the risks in the ever-changing technological and E-service systems, (2) identifying the business, legal and social contexts of security threats, (3) engineering strategic security solutions, and (4) educating a future workforce and building workforce capacity. These workshops emphasize the development of innovative concepts and technologies for software security, network security, and device and system security, for multimodal transportation systems. The workshops cut across disciplinary boundaries in the fields of transportation, communications, computer science, and the computational sciences. These advances would greatly benefit smart cities, urban planners, cyber-manufacturing, and e-commerce. Plans for the center integrate research and education, create a diverse and inclusive work environment, foster an ecosystem of innovation in transportation security, and engage the public on the opportunities and challenges for a safer, more secure, next-generation of transportation systems.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

工程研究中心规划拨款竞赛是ERC项目的试点征集。规划补助金不需要作为ERC竞赛的一部分，但它旨在在团队之间建立能力，以规划聚合的、中心规模的工程研究。由于新兴的连通性、数据分析和自动化技术，多式联运系统正在发生一场革命。这有望改变公路运输（汽车、公共交通和货运）、铁路、港口和机场。虽然交通运输的这种演变带来了巨大的好处，但它也带来了新的挑战，特别是自动化和网络技术带来的风险。该项目促进了一个研究中心的规划，致力于融合研究，通过一系列研讨会，将来自交通系统和网络物理系统安全的广泛利益相关者社区聚集在一起，开发互联交通系统安全和安保的新概念。这些研讨会讨论了未来交通系统的几个相互关联的战略目标：(1)评估不断变化的技术和电子服务系统中的风险；(2)识别安全威胁的商业、法律和社会背景；(3)工程战略安全解决方案；(4)教育未来的劳动力和建设劳动力能力。这些研讨会强调多式联运系统在软件安全、网络安全、设备和系统安全方面的创新概念和技术的发展。这些研讨会跨越了交通、通信、计算机科学和计算科学领域的学科界限。这些进步将极大地惠及智慧城市、城市规划者、网络制造和电子商务。该中心计划整合研究和教育，创造多元化和包容性的工作环境，培育交通安全创新生态系统，并让公众参与到更安全、更可靠的下一代交通系统的机遇和挑战中来。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
