• Congestion • Environmental impact• Equity and accessibility• Safety and security • Aging infrastructure• Emergency
preparedness, response, and mitigation
21st century transportation challenges
[Transportation Research Board 09; EPA Green Book 10]
3
• Still lack basic ability to track the flow of goods and people across our infrastructure.
• Need improvements in real-time: – sensing– estimation– control– Systems integration
• 21st century challenges will force a tighter integration between our physical transportation infrastructure and computing infrastructure
How to meet these challenges
4
• The resulting transportation systems are “Cyber Physical Systems” (CPS)– CPS are characterized by tight
coupling of and coordination between computational and physical resources
– adds capabilities to physical systems that we could not feasibly add in any other way
– Driven by the ubiquity of sensors and cheap computing
• Understanding these systems is truly a grand challenge across disciplines and domains

• Cell phones are the world’s largest sensor network:
– 3 billion devices– Global coverage, human centric– Increasingly connected,
programmable
Understanding human mobility
• Wikipedia for the physical world– “First draft” of our interaction with
the environment, in real-time– Crowd-sourced data– Participatory sensing– Information distribution
Mobile Millennium – traffic estimation with cell phones
• Partnership between UC Berkeley, Nokia, Navteq Caltrans, and US DOT SafeTrip 21 initiative
• Deployment of thousands of cars in Northern California
• Participating users download Mobile Millennium Traffic Pilot (available at traffic.berkeley.edu) on a GPS and java enabled phone
• Phones receive live information on map application
Mobile Century – proof of concept

• Prototype System– Run Feb. 8, 2008– Multi-lane highway with
heavy morning and evening congestion
– Ground truth: Loop detectors, HD film crew on bridges.
– Rich data set for future traffic modelling and estimation research

9
• Need to merge the timescales of internet innovation with the longevity of physical infrastructure– Platform for innovation and adaptability– Interoperability and portability– Enable national / global scale systems of systems
• Need reliable transportation CPS from unreliable components– Sensors will fail, will be attacked– Computing systems will have bugs and security vulnerabilities
Designing transportation CPS
[ CPS Executive Summary 08]
10
• Security: networked systems open up the potential for large, coordinated attacks on physical systems
• Privacy: need to monitor movements of goods and people without compromising privacy
Security and privacy
[Hoh Mobisys 08, KXAN 09]
11
• Transportation system improvements will come from innovations in merging physical infrastructure with computational infrastructure.
• Challenge is how to do this without compromising safety, reliability, security, and privacy.
• Requires collaboration between government, academia, and industry
