Adage mobile services for ITS infrastructure

Abstract

Modern Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) are based on specific services that are hosted at the edge of network infrastructure. These services are created using the vehicle embedded computing appliances, private cloud resources and global available information services. Within proposed approach all vehicles are considered as mobile part of low level operation network that providing low latency and requested QoS characteristics for ITS communication and information systems. More over some of the discussed decisions support multiprotocol interactions and predictable real time performance so can be used for different kind of industrial, transport and robotics applications. ITS supplemented by low level operation network expands opportunity for practical implementation of emerging Internet of Things (IoT) concept. Thanks to wide functional ability proposed approach is well positioned for big data and on demand high performance applications. Some aspects of these services develops ideas of CISCO' Fog Computing [1] and may be seamlessly supported into existing ITS cloud infrastructure using virtual firewall appliances which provides bilateral access control between vehicles that belongs to MESH network and IaaS segments resources of which support high performance computing or even supercomputers services [2].
