With nearly a billion automobiles on the road today, the current transportation systems have begun to show signs of serious strain, such as congestions, traffic accidents, road surface defects, and malfunctioning traffic regulation infrastructures. Therefore, it is of great importance to collect and disseminate road/traffic condition information accurately, efficiently, and timely. Traditionally, road and traffic monitoring are conducted through either stationary sensors or instrumented probe vehicles. Unfortunately, the prohibitively high deployment cost of such devices makes it impossible to achieve large-scale deployment, leading to limited road coverage and delayed information update. To mitigate these problems, this project develops QuicRoad, a Quality of Information (QoI) aware crowdsourced road sensing system that can collect road/traffic information from a variety of sources, including smartphones, social media and transportation authorities (as well as future connected vehicles), and then distribute the collected information in real time. The PIs team up with local transportation agencies in the Buffalo-Niagara region on applications related to road surface and traffic condition monitoring, border crossing delay estimation, and incident management.This project integrates across both social and technological research dimensions. In the technological dimension, it leads to a novel Quality of Information (QoI) aware information integration framework that can jointly optimize the estimation of the QoI of various sources, and the information-integration as well as decision-making process. In the social dimension, it answers fundamental questions such as whether and to what degree the road/traffic condition information provided by the proposed QuicRoad system would change the social behavior of the travelers. By seamlessly integrating the technological and social dimensions, the proposed research can not only improve the coverage and quality of assisted driving and road navigation services for travelers, but also support policy-making in traffic planning and operations by transportation authorities. The research will potentially benefit a wide spectrum of real-world road sensing applications aimed at improving road safety, mitigating traffic congestions, and reducing fuel consumption and emissions, and eventually contribute to building a sustainable society.

如今，道路上行驶的汽车已接近十亿辆，当前的交通系统已经开始显现出严重的压力，例如拥堵、交通事故、路面缺陷、交通监管基础设施故障等。因此，准确、高效、及时地收集和发布道路/交通状况信息具有重要意义。传统上，道路和交通监控是通过固定传感器或仪表探测车进行的。不幸的是，此类设备的部署成本过高，无法实现大规模部署，导致道路覆盖范围有限、信息更新延迟。为了缓解这些问题，该项目开发了 QuicRoad，这是一种具有信息质量 (QoI) 意识的众包道路传感系统，可以从各种来源收集道路/交通信息，包括智能手机、社交媒体和交通当局（以及未来的联网车辆） ），然后实时分发收集到的信息。 PI 与布法罗-尼亚加拉地区的当地交通机构合作，开发与路面和交通状况监测、过境延误估计和事件管理相关的应用。该项目整合了社会和技术研究维度。在技​​术维度上，它带来了一种新颖的信息质量（QoI）感知信息集成框架，可以共同优化各种来源的QoI估计以及信息集成和决策过程。在社会维度上，它回答了一些基本问题，例如QuicRoad系统提供的道路/交通状况信息是否以及在多大程度上会改变旅行者的社会行为。通过无缝整合技术和社会维度，该研究不仅可以提高出行者辅助驾驶和道路导航服务的覆盖范围和质量，还可以为交通部门的交通规划和运营决策提供支持。该研究将有可能使广泛的现实世界道路传感应用受益，旨在改善道路安全、缓解交通拥堵、减少燃料消耗和排放，并最终为建设可持续发展的社会做出贡献。
