Abstract:
Modern Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) are based on specific services that are hosted at network edges. These services are created using in-vehicle computing appliances, private cloud infrastructure and global information resources. According to the proposed approach all vehicles are considered as a mobile part of a low level operation network that provides low latency and requested quality of service (QoS) characteristics for the intelligent transport communication and information systems. Moreover, some of the discussed decisions support multiprotocol interactions and provide predictable real time performance so they can be used for different kinds of industrial, transport and robotics applications. ITS supplemented by low level operation network expands opportunities for a practical implementation of the emerging technologies for the Internet of Things (IoT). Due to the wide functional abilities the proposed approach is suitable for Big Data and on-demand high performance applications. Some aspects of these services develop the ideas of IBM “Smarter Planet” initiative and CISCO’ Fog Computing. Researched model of multiprotocol node may be seamlessly integrated into an existing ITS cloud infrastructure using virtual firewall appliances to provide bilateral access control between vehicles that belong to MESH network and IaaS segments’ resources, which support high performance computing and even supercomputers services.
