I-Corps: Smart Data Gateway for Intelligent Transportation

I-Corps项目更广泛的影响/商业潜力是可能开发一种实地测试方案和一种长期的、现场的公路结构健康监测。这项技术寻求开发一种智能和安全的数据网关，以集成来自新兴的、不同种类的网络物理系统的数据，并为交通官员提供一个无缝的仪表盘，以便采取快速和知情的行动。作为一项服务，这项技术可以提供实时交通信息，如车辆数量、车辆/行人/野生动物分类，以及与私营交通机构的战略联盟的组合，这些机构签订了合同，创建安全的交通十字路口和环形交叉路口。这项拟议的技术还可以扩展现有的软件，以提供分析，如自行车和行人检测、险些发生、实时资产监控，以及提供基于计算机的建模的能力。这个i-Corps项目基于一个强大、但自适应的智能数据网关的潜在开发，以监控高速公路基础设施的健康状况。该网关必须能够支持在不同的网络物理系统中使用的各种数据格式。将附近的网络物理系统连接到每个位置的历史数据的能力是具有挑战性的；智能数据网关应该在不同的网络物理系统之间连接并持续传输数据。此外，网关应实时处理传入数据，检测正确的数据格式，检查任何恶意数据点，使用人工智能(AI)模型处理数据，以确定数据的优先顺序，导出模式，在仪表板中显示相关数据，并将适当的响应传递给相应的系统。作为一项服务，这项技术可以提供实时交通信息，以创造更安全的交通路口和环形交叉路口。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project is the potential development of a field-testing regimen and a long-term, on-site health monitor for highway structures. This technology seeks to develop a smart and secured data gateway to integrate the data from emerging, heterogeneous cyberphysical systems and provide a seamless dashboard for transportation officials to make quick and informed actions. As a service, this technology could provide real-time traffic information such as vehicle counts, vehicle/pedestrian/wildlife classifications, and a combination of strategic alliances with private transportation agencies that are contracted to create safe traffic intersections and roundabouts. The proposed technology could also scale existing software to provide analytics such as bike and pedestrian detection, near misses, real-time asset monitoring, and the ability to provide computer-based modeling.This I-Corps project is based on the potential development of a robust, yet adaptive smart data gateway to monitor the health of highway infrastructture. The gateway must be capable of supporting the diverse data formats used in heterogeneous cyberphysical systems. The ability to connect nearby cyberphysical systems to historical data in each location is challenging; The smart data gateway should connect and continuously stream data between the heterogeneous cyberphysical systems. In addition, the gateway should process the incoming data in real-time, detect the correct data format, check for any malicious data points, process the data using artificial intelligence (AI) models to prioritize the data, derive patterns, display the relevant data in the dashboard, and relay proper responses to the corresponding systems. As a service, this technology could provide real-time traffic information to create safer traffic intersections and roundabouts.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
