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)使用的现有电力传输线上的能源和数据通信供应开发全新的战略和协议。能源需求减少，因为它具有将新型普及传感器与传统技术无缝集成的潜力，以便使用现有的电力线基础设施进行室内和室外监测。该项目基于我们在伦敦国王学院的通信和信息技术方面的专业知识，以及欧盟ASTRA中纽卡斯尔大学开发的开创性MOTE技术，以及EPSRC Message项目。在英国政府认识到智能车辆和运输系统(IVTS)技术在未来更有效地利用现有基础设施交付低碳交通系统方面发挥关键作用之际，这些结果的影响将是显著的。密集、普及、多任务的传感器网络的发展，提供实时的交通流量信息，并监测多种环境因素(如车辆排放的污染物)，以促进更有效的交通控制方案的开发，从而显著减少能源消耗和环境污染。我们的目标不仅是通过优秀的出版物传播成果，更重要的是通过区域交通委员会、英国和欧洲的Foresight智能基础设施论坛及其世界大会的现有联系来传播成果，在项目的所有阶段产生知识对话。

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.
