Cooperative Transportation Systems

Tony Qiu博士是加拿大阿尔伯塔大学工程学院的教授。他是智能交通中心的创始人，自主系统倡议的科学主任，以及active - aurora -加拿大首个联网汽车测试平台网络的主任。对于提议的加拿大研究主席，ACTIVE-AURORA测试平台将用于在联网车辆环境中进行基础和应用研究。联网车辆是指能够通过专用短距离通信或蜂窝网络与附近设备进行无线连接的车辆。它们在物联网（IoT）的发展中发挥着重要作用，包括许多用例，从连接的娱乐系统到与其他车辆、移动设备和城市十字路口进行双向和网络通信的互联网连接车辆。本研究的总体目标是推动智能交通系统领域的发展，并为互联汽车技术提供更好的基础理解。邱博士的部分目标是确保各机构在将这些技术与现有交通系统集成时意识到不同的因素，以便有效地最大化联网汽车技术的好处。第二个目标是开发和评估联网汽车技术的创新应用，以解决机构和司机面临的交通相关问题。第三个目标是培养高素质的学术和工业人员，使他们参与拟议的研究以及所使用的技术和工具的发展和应用。拟议的加拿大研究主席计划的愿景是使交通系统中的车辆和基础设施在完全集成和高度自动化的环境中运行，以优化和可靠的方式帮助提高交通机动性和安全性。为了实现这一愿景，邱博士开发了一个实验室模拟环境和三个现场测试走廊，在埃德蒙顿的公共道路上全面运行。在接下来的五年里，研究计划的重点将放在实现数据驱动的交通建模和控制的长期愿景上，在这个领域，交通管理机构需要更全面地了解不断发展的信息和通信技术对车辆和基础设施的影响。

Dr. Tony Qiu is a Professor in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Alberta. He is the founder of the Centre for Smart Transportation, the scientific director for the Autonomous Systems Initiative, and the director of ACTIVE-AURORA-Canada's first connected vehicle testbed network. For the proposed Canadian Research Chair, the ACTIVE-AURORA testbed will be the platform used to conduct fundamental and applied research within a connected vehicle environment. Connected vehicles are vehicles capable of connecting wirelessly through Dedicated Short Range Communications or cellular networks to nearby devices. They play an important role in the advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT) and include many use cases ranging from connected entertainment systems to internet-connected vehicles that have bi-directional and network communication with other vehicles, mobile devices, and city intersections. The overall goal of the proposed research is to advance the field of Intelligent Transportation Systems, and to provide a better fundamental understanding of connected vehicle technologies. Part of Dr. Qiu's goal is ensuring that agencies are aware of different factors when integrating these technologies with existing transportation systems, so that the benefits of connected vehicle technologies can be effectively maximized. A second goal is to develop and evaluate innovative applications of connected vehicle technology to address transportation-related problems faced by agencies and drivers. A third goal is to train highly qualified academic and industry personnel by involving them in the proposed research, as well as in the development and application of the techniques and tools to be used.The vision of the proposed Canada Research Chair program is to have vehicles and infrastructure in the transportation system operate in a fully integrated and highly automated environment that can help improve traffic mobility and safety in an optimized and reliable manner. In pursuit of this vision, Dr. Qiu has developed a lab simulation environment and three field test corridors that are fully operational on public roads in Edmonton. Over the next five years, the focus of the research program will be on realizing the long-term vision for data-driven traffic modelling and control, an area in which traffic management agencies need a more thorough understanding of the impact from evolving information and communication technology on both vehicles and infrastructure.
