TRANSIT: Training and Research in Advanced Network Systems for Intelligent Transportation

近年来，加拿大政府和工业界通过旨在改善车辆通信的举措，对汽车连通性表现出了浓厚的兴趣。这些举措构成了智能交通系统(ITS)的基础，其目标是减少通勤时间和燃料消耗，提高运输效率和安全性等。实施、维护和升级这些系统需要多学科技能，以了解和欣赏所使用的最先进技术、网络复杂性、大数据集的实时管理和与数据有关的隐私问题，以及实施其技术所涉及的业务流程。*CREATE计划的目标是为来自四所加拿大顶尖大学(渥太华大学、卡尔顿大学、UOIT大学、UAlberta大学)的学员提供所需的专业、跨学科技能，以满足加拿大政府和运输业的战略目标。此外，国家和国际实习将培训下一代汽车通信专家，涉及交通运输的技术、法律、道德、商业和社会因素，以便为他们在私营部门或政府工作做好更好的准备。预计这些受训人员将成为其下一代专家。这将确保加拿大在其技术的开发和实施方面处于创新的前沿。**

In recent years, the Canadian Government and industry have demonstrated a profound interest in automotive connectivity through initiatives aimed at improving vehicle communications. These initiatives form the basis of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), the objectives of which are to decrease commuting time and fuel consumption and increase transport efficiency and safety among others. Implementation, maintenance and upgrade of these systems requires multidisciplinary skills to understand and appreciate the state-of-the-art technology used, network complexity, management of large data sets in real time and privacy issues related to the data, as well as business processes involved with implementing ITS technology. ****The goal of the CREATE Program in Training and Research in Advanced Network Systems for Intelligent Transportation (TRANSIT) is to provide trainees from four leading Canadian universities (uOttawa, CarletonU, UOIT, uAlberta) with the professional, cross-disciplinary skills needed to meet the strategic aims of the Canadian Government and transportation industry. Training through courses, workshops, seminars and additionally, the national and international internships will train next generation automotive communications experts in the technical, legal, ethical, business and social elements of transportation, in order to better prepare them for careers in the private sector or government. It is expected that these trainees will form the next generation of ITS experts. This will ensure Canada is at the forefront of innovation in the development and implementation of ITS technology.**
