(CIA)<sup>2</sup>-ITS: Interconnecting mobile and ubiquitous devices for Intelligent Transportation Systems

Abstract

This work-in-progress article presents the research objectives of the (CIA) <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> -ITS workgroup of the Brazilian project consortium called (CIA) <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> . The workgroup is developing an architecture and protocols to integrate the heterogeneous networks and devices that compose a city-wide (or even nation-wide) Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). The ITS architecture will support networks of wireless sensors and actuators, smart vehicle communication as well as PCs and PDAs generating and requesting ITS-related information. This network will be open, thus gaining more functionality and data as users and the government “log into” the system.
