A Next-Generation Transportation Information Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper will look at the challenges involved in creating a scalable wireless network capable of collecting and distributing data from vehicles traveling at arbitrary speeds and locations through the current public transportation system. Observations will be made of available technologies that could be used to provide solutions for the problems that are outlined within this paper. We will also discuss profitable technologies that could be developed to offset the cost of implementing a nationwide Transportation Information Network (TIN) solution and suggest some future areas of research. The contribution of this paper is to expand on the core ideas of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS). In particular, we will develop the idea of a Transportation Information Network (TIN), suggest an architecture that could be used to realize a scalable implementation, and provide insights into resulting technologies.
