Toward Seamless coordination of cyber physical resources

这项研究将有助于整合新的信息和通信技术(ICT)，以改善加拿大城市市政基础设施的适用性，重点是移动性和交通服务。据估计，全球移动即服务(MAAS)市场每年价值5.4万亿美元[1]。到2050年，城市旅行的里程预计将增加两倍，这将导致司机在交通拥堵中忍受痛苦的平均时间翻一番。智能交通系统(ITS)包括一套跨越拼车、公共交通、汽车租赁和自行车共享等多种模式的智能移动服务。这些服务可以根据每位旅行者的实时情况进行定制。了解移动服务之间的相互作用和相互关系是一项具有挑战性的任务，因为它们涉及分布在不同利益攸关方之间的业务流程，包括联邦、省和市政府机构、私人交通服务提供商、个人旅行者/司机、私营企业和媒体。 这项研究研究、设计和创建新的计算人工制品，以实现利益相关者之间的协作和协调。拟议的研究将回答以下问题：鉴于一组利益攸关方想要提供的特定服务，如何自动推断和定义整合计划，以指导利益攸关方能力、服务和资源的无缝选择和执行？需要哪些协调方案才能使移动服务互操作(例如，支持数据交换所需的标准是什么)？对这个问题的回答将指导应用程序交付的动态运行时方面，包括自适应地处理大量实时大数据，捕获城市动态。该平台建立在One的优势之上-其平台和设计的服务将通过开放API提供给社区成员使用和增强。这项研究的多学科性质将为学生提供在城市信息学、云计算、物联网和服务以及大数据领域探索和创造新内容的机会。

This research will contribute to the integration of novel Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) to improve the serviceability of municipal infrastructure of Canadian cities, with a focus on mobility and transportation services. It is estimated that the global market for Mobility- as-a-Service (MaaS) is worth $5.4 trillion a year [1]. By 2050, the distance travelled in urban journeys is expected to triple in number which will result in doubling average time drivers spend languishing in traffic jams. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) includes a set of smart mobility services over multi-modes such as carpooling, public transit, car rental, and bike sharing. These services can be customized to each traveller's real-time context. Understanding interactions, and inter-relationships among mobility services is a challenging task as they involve business processes distributed among various stakeholders; including federal, provincial and municipal government agencies, private transportation service providers, individual travellers/ drivers, private businesses and media outlets. This research studies, designs and creates novel computational artifacts to enable collaboration and coordination among stakeholders. The proposed research will answer the following questions: Given a particular service a group of stakeholders would like to provision, how can schemes of integration be automatically inferred and defined to guide the seamless selection and execution of stakeholders' capabilities, services and resources? What coordination schemes are required to have mobility services inter-operate (e.g., what are the required standards to support data exchange)? Answers to this question guide dynamic run-time aspects of application delivery including adaptively processing large volumes of real-time big data capturing urban dynamics. The platform builds on the strength of the ONE-ITS platform and services designed will be available via open API for community members to use and enhance. The multidisciplinary nature of this research will provide students with opportunities to explore and create new content in urban informatics, cloud computing, Internet of Things and Services, and Big Data.
