Information Services in Social Networked Transportation
项目名称: Information Services in Social Networked Transportation
摘要: Over the past 20 years the transportation sector has experienced an information technology (IT) revolution, as the national program in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) planned and launched a wide variety of IT-based systems. Today the transportation sector is poised for a second IT-driven revolution, this one more far-reaching than the first. This second IT revolution, "social networked transportation" (SNT), realizes the functionality of social networks, already well known in the IT sector, in the transportation sector. Social networked transportation leverages pre-existing IT investments to realize new services and functions that significantly enhance mobility. Based on the experiences of other sectors in the economy where social networking is well underway, the project predicts that social networked transportation will require less investment than traditional ITS even as it can generate similarly enormous benefits. This research combines research in social networking and research in transportation to achieve useful insights into social networked transportation (SNT). We seek to understand the functions and the benefits of SNT, the processes that make SNT possible, and the institutional innovations needed to facilitate those processes. The project expects that the results of this research would interest a wide audience, from transportation researchers to field practitioners.
