【报告简介】

A vehicular environment, with communication capabilities from the moving vehicles and the transportation systems, presents an extremely large and complex mobile networking scenario where multiple communication technologies are available. This talk will introduce a vehicle-crowd centered, networked system that has the capability to support high-demand mobile edge computing applications. The grouped vehicles are knitted together via the vehicular networking protocols. The benefits could range from more prompt and accurate data inputs and result outputs, to being an alternative for infrastructure-based systems.  The talk will show initial study on finding the interdependent relationships between the physical vehicle-crowd system and the traffic signal control. The relationships can be used to develop adaptive schemes to sustain the vehicle crowd. The talk will also introduce our work on improving Vehicular Ad Hoc Network via Named Data Networking architecture for more efficient information sharing.
