With the publication of the document ``An Intelligent Transportation Systems Plan for Canada: En Route toIntelligent Mobility'', Canada has highlighted clearly its desire and main objectives in bringing ourtransportation system into the 21st Century, making it safer, efficient, and integrated. Recent advances in adhoc and sensor networks and wireless communication have made vehicle ad hoc networks a promisingsolutions to achieve these goals, however not without cretaing a new set of challenging issues and trade-offs.One of the most appealing applications, we will concentrate on in this project,is to propose an anytime, anywhere, fine-grained, and reliable time-space localization discovery andmonitoring system to be used by vehicles in VANets for critical safety and emergency applications. Ananytime requirement means that the localization system must be free of delays when computing the currentposition and synchronizing the clocks of the vehicles (e.g., no startup delay). This requirement is critical,since the high mobility of VANets means that slightly outdated position information cannot be used andcould even be dangerous. The "anywhere" availablity is a major challenge in VANet localization systems.It is therefore our goals to design efficient scalable time-space localtization framework for vehicle ad hocnetworks and safety applications. In these kind of applications,it is important that our localization protocols ensure fine-grained localization and synchronization errors.This project will provide the students the necessary skills in wireless communication, vehicle ad hocnetworking systems, and modeling and simulation. The PIs are basically responding to the high demands fromgovernmental agencies, IT industrial sector and academia in these areas.

随着题为“加拿大智能交通系统计划：通往智能交通的道路”的文件的发表，加拿大明确强调了其将我们的交通系统带入21世纪的愿望和主要目标，使其更加安全、高效和一体化。近年来，随着无线通信技术的发展，车载自组织网络成为一种很有前途的解决方案，但同时也带来了一系列新的挑战性问题。和可靠的时空定位发现和监控系统，用于车辆网络中的车辆，用于关键的安全和紧急应用。任何时间要求意味着定位系统在计算当前位置和同步车辆的时钟时必须没有延迟（例如，无启动延迟）。这一要求至关重要，因为VANets的高流动性意味着稍微过时的位置信息不能使用，甚至可能是危险的。“无处不在”的可用性是VANet定位系统面临的一个主要挑战，因此设计一个高效的、可扩展的时空定位框架是我们的目标。在这些应用中，我们的定位协议确保细粒度的定位和同步错误是很重要的。这个项目将为学生提供在无线通信，车载广告网络系统，建模和仿真的必要技能。PI基本上是响应政府机构，IT产业部门和学术界在这些领域的高需求。
