Robust Intelligent Lamp Post (ILP) Sensor Networks for Energy Efficient Transportation Systems

拟议研究的目的是为智能车辆和运输基础设施（IVTI）使用的现有输电线路提供能源和数据通信，开发全新的战略和协议。由于利用现有电力线基础设施将新型普适传感器与传统技术无缝集成，从而降低了能源需求。该项目建立在伦敦国王学院在通信和信息技术方面的专业知识，以及欧盟ASTRA纽卡斯尔大学开发的开创性远程技术和EPSRC MESSAGE项目的基础上。当英国政府认识到智能车辆和运输系统（IVTS）技术在未来低碳运输系统中更有效地利用现有基础设施的关键作用时，这些结果的影响将是显著的。密集的、普遍的、多任务的传感器网络的发展，提供实时交通流量信息和监测几个环境因素（如来自车辆的污染物），已经在MESSAGE中得到证明，以促进更有效的交通控制方案的发展，从而导致能源消耗和环境污染的显著减少。我们的目标是不仅通过优秀的出版物传播结果，而且重要的是通过区域交通委员会的现有联系，英国和欧洲的远见智能基础设施论坛，以及在项目的各个阶段进行知识对话的ITS世界大会。

The purpose of the proposed research is to develop radically new strategies and protocols for the supply of both energy and data communications along existing power transmission lines used by Intelligent Vehicle and Transport Infrastructures, IVTI. Energy demand is reduced due to its potential for seamless integration of novel pervasive sensors with legacy technologies for indoor and outdoor monitoring using existing power line infrastructures. The project builds upon our expertise in communication and information technology at King's College London and the pioneering mote technology developed at the Newcastle University in the EU ASTRA, and the EPSRC MESSAGE, projects. The impact of these results will be significant at a time when UK Government acknowledges the crucial role of Intelligent Vehicle and Transport Systems, IVTS, technology to make more efficient use of existing infrastructure in the delivery of a low carbon transport systems for the future. The development of dense, pervasive, multitask sensor networks, that provide real-time traffic flow information and monitor several environmental factors (such as pollutants from vehicles) has been demonstrated in MESSAGE to facilitate the development of more efficient traffic control schemes, thus leading to a significant reduction in the energy consumption and environmental pollution. We aim to disseminate the results not only through outstanding publications but importantly through existing links in the regional transport boards, Foresight Intelligent Infrastructure Forum in UK and Europe, and ITS World Congress generating knowledge dialogue at all stages of the project.
