CPS: Medium: Vehicular Cyber-Physical Systems

这项研究的目标是开发技术，以提高道路交通基础设施的效率和安全性。方法是开发基于位置的车辆服务，结合车载计算机、车载设备、移动电话和路边监控/监视系统。由此产生的车辆网络物理系统(CPS)可以通过智能导航减少旅行时间，通过确定绿色路线和通勤时间来节省燃料和减少碳排放，通过检测道路危险来提高安全性，通过智能收费改变驾驶行为，并使基于测量的保险计划能够激励良好的驾驶。这项研究开发了用于预测旅行延误建模、基于反馈的路线选择和道路危险评估的分布式算法。该研究开发了隐私保护协议，用于捕获和分析数据，并将其用于拥堵感知收费等任务。它还开发了一个安全的宏任务软件运行时底层，以确保算法可以集中编程，而不需要对每个节点进行明确的单独编程，同时确保它是安全的第三方代码。本研究着眼于多车辆服务的可重复使用方法，并研究了从车辆CPS工作中吸取的经验教训是否适用于其他情况。道路交通是现代社会面临的一个重大挑战，本研究可以帮助克服这一问题。汽车供应商、组件开发商和市政当局都对部署表现出了兴趣。该教育计划包括对当地K-12学生的拓展，以及从CPS的角度开设一门关于交通运输的新本科课程，其中将包括使用项目中收集的数据进行的学期项目

The objective of this research is to develop technologies to improvethe efficiency and safety of the road transportation infrastructure.The approach is to develop location-based vehicular services combiningon-board automotive computers, in-car devices, mobile phones, androadside monitoring/surveillance systems. The resulting vehicularCyber Physical Systems (CPS) can reduce travel times with smartrouting, save fuel and reduce carbon emissions by determining greenerroutes and commute times, improve safety by detecting road hazards,change driving behavior using smart tolling, and enablemeasurement-based insurance plans that incentivize good driving.This research develops distributed algorithms for predictive traveldelay modeling, feedback-based routing, and road hazard assessment.It develops privacy-preserving protocols for capturing and analyzingdata and using it for tasks such as congestion-aware tolling. It alsodevelops a secure macro-tasking software run-time substrate to ensurethat algorithms can be programmed centrally without explicitlyprogramming each node separately, while ensuring that it is safe torun third-party code. The research focuses on re-usable methods thatcan benefit multiple vehicular services, and investigates whichlessons learned from this vehicular CPS effort generalize to othersituations.Road transportation is a grand challenge problem for modern society,which this research can help overcome. Automobile vendors, component developers, and municipal authorities have all shown interest in deployment. The education plan includes outreach to local K-12 students and a new undergraduate course on transportation from a CPS perspective, which will involve term projects using the data collected in the project
