IEEE Smart Cities Initiative

The IEEE Smart Cities Initiative
seeks to apply technology to
improve cities and the quality of
life for their residents.
It is a process of improving urban
living by implementing
technologies throughout a city’s
infrastructure for efficiency,
sustainability, and convenience.
Smart city is a way of being and a
goal for future development

Hot Problems Worldwide
Transportation Environment
Energy
• Fuel-driven vehicles are
responsible for 90 percent
of the risk of developing
cancer in LA.
• Mobile sources are
responsible for a third
of local PM2.5
emissions.
• Traffic crashes kills
1.26 million people each
year.
Transportation is a big deal!!!

Sources of Intelligence
How can we do better?
All these applications need intelligence
Intelligence comes from data analytics
Smart cities and IOT offer new and highly valuable
data sources
Theoretical framework for data integration is a
must to make a proper use of all available data
valuable for transportation

Transportation Big Data is a Key
Designing and deploying sensor networks for monitoring the
city’s condition
Building a big data stream through properly collecting and
integrating datasets
Mining big data to feel the social “mood”
Supporting informed decisions by combining the future goal,
current condition, and available resources

Opportunities with Big Data
13
Many key questions can be answered by using big data:
How to quantify the benefit from a transportation investment?
What is the impact of a road construction project on travel?
Which infrastructure design is greener consider life-cycle
operational impacts?
Where do pedestrians go and how to improve their safety?
How to improve transit services without adding new
resources?
Where do trucks go and how to guide them to the best routes?
…
15. PacTransSTARLabResearchonBigDataandE-Science
Challenges to Transportation Professionals
Extract Values from Big Data Streams
High volume and high velocity
High variety and high variability
Methods and tools to take values out
Manage Big Data
Spatial and temporal features
Storage and query efficiencies
Privacy protection
Understand and Use Big Data
Problems with classical transportation theory
Weak data training in transportation curriculum
Isolated to systematic view

Research/Innovation Needs
15
Proposed actions to address the gaps:
Actively pull what we need from the existing data resources
Build our own stream of big data
Design a standard mechanism for connecting transportation
related datasets
Develop e-science transportation methods to take advantage
of the spatial and temporal datasets to support transportation
analysis and decision making
Build big data analytics tools to facilitate usage of big data
Develop new courses in transportation curriculum to make
our students/working professionals ready for the big data era

Research/Innovation Needs
16
What is e-science?
Computationally intensive science that is carried out in
highly distributed network environments
Application of computer technology to the undertaking of
modern scientific investigation
E-science of transportation:
Computationally intensive science for scientific
investigations in transportation issues using immense data
sets
19. PacTransSTARLabResearchonBigDataandE-Science
Data Extraction from Mobile Networks
60% of the world population has a cell phone
91% of Americans
257 million data-capable devices in US (50 mil
smartphones)
90% of Chinese in countryside areas
Devices as data sources
Count devices, not cars
Devices as sensors
Almost no maintenance
Automatically scaling
Ability to relay data back

Autonomous vehicles will change car ownerships
Parking facilities will be significantly reduced
Traffic network utilization will be optimized
Traffic congestion will be mitigated or even disappear
Cars will be seamlessly connected
Virtual infrastructure for transportation will appear
Vision of Future Smart Transportation
