Green Navigation: A Big Data Approach Towards Sustainable Transportation
| 项目名称： | Green Navigation: A Big Data Approach Towards Sustainable Transportation |
| 摘要： | This project addresses the need for big data solutions that reduce the carbon emissions and energy footprint of the transportation sector by providing computational tools for informing driver decisions. These cyber-tools take physical models of vehicles, roads and traffic into account to produce advice that enhances transportation sustainability, and thus will have significant contributions to cyber-physical transportation systems. According to the US Energy Information Administration, the transportation sector currently accounts for one of the largest shares of energy consumption in the nation, among all sectors. A research investment is needed to offer computationally-enabled solutions for drivers to reduce their energy cost, emissions, delay, and carbon footprint. Towards this end, this proposal develops a system that gives individualized navigation advice to drivers. Currently, vehicular traffic is managed largely in bulk. Traffic lights, route advisories, and other traffic regulators operate in the spirit of broadcast, offering the same feedback to all. In contrast, with increasing proliferation of computational devices and global positioning system (GPS) navigation systems in vehicles with their own networking, storage, and processing capabilities, it becomes possible to customize real-time information that flows back to drivers, thereby allowing individuals to make more informed energy-saving and cost-saving decisions. Such individualization will result in significant total energy and emissions savings. |
