CPS:Small: Transforming a City's Transportation Infrastructure Through an Embedded Pervasive Communication Network

The objective of this inter-disciplinary research is to develop new technologies that transform the streets of a city into a hybrid transportation/communication system, called the Intelligent Road (iRoad), where autonomous wireless devices are co-located with traffic signals, forming a wireless network that fuses real-time transportation data from all over the city to support a wide range of new applications. The project will establish the theories and protocols for a high-speed, pervasive, wireless platform that can lead to transformative changes in the way the transportation monitoring and control functions are designed, managed and operated.
