Vehicle-to-everything communication is a transformational emerging technology that is poised to enhance transportation safety and traffic management, thereby saving lives and yielding major economic gains by alleviating traffic congestion. This technology will enable vehicles to communicate with each other, as well as with traffic signals, road side units, bikes, wheelchairs, and pedestrians to augment situational awareness of all these constituents about road conditions. This project seeks to facilitate the deployment of the vehicle-to-everything communication technology by providing tools to model, design, optimize and secure its integral components, through a cross-disciplinary research effort. The research entails developing novel and computationally tractable mathematical models for (1) characterizing message propagation between the diverse road constituents; (2) jointly optimizing transportation and communication objectives; and (3) thwarting security threats. The educational plan involves fostering a workforce equipped with cross-domain knowledge in transportation engineering and management, electrical engineering, and cyber-security. The project also includes outreach to decision makers in transportation authorities and programs aimed at broadening the representation of under-represented minorities in the science and engineering field, particularly women.Vehicle-to-everything communication intertwines the wireless communications and transportation infrastructures. This creates cross-dependencies between the infrastructures that both raise unique challenges and offer new opportunities which the project addresses through fundamental contributions. Specifically, the project seeks to establish a science of vehicular epidemiology, which combines, draws from and contributes to the epidemiology, optimal control, game theory, and vehicular and wireless communication domains. Towards that end, the project aims to advance theoretical methods, including clustered epidemiological differential equations, optimal control based on Pontryagin's Maximum Principle, and dynamic games over epidemiological formulations, all of which are innovative in the vehicle-to-everything communication context. The project further includes data-driven verification of the theoretical findings, including computation and simulation software that will be shared with the broader research community.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

车辆到设施的通信是一种变革的新兴技术，有望提高运输安全和交通管理，从而通过减轻交通拥堵来挽救生命并从中挽救大量经济收益。这项技术将使车辆能够相互通信，以及交通信号，道路侧单元，自行车，轮椅和行人，以增强对所有这些成分有关道路状况的情境意识。该项目旨在通过跨学科的研究工作提供建模，设计，优化和确保其积分组件的工具来促进车辆到所有通信技术的部署。该研究需要开发出（1）表征各种道路成分之间的信息传播的新颖和计算典型的数学模型； （2）共同优化运输和沟通目标； （3）挫败安全威胁。 该教育计划涉及培养一名在运输工程和管理，电气工程和网络安全方面拥有跨域知识的劳动力。该项目还包括向运输部门的决策者提供宣传和计划，旨在扩大代表不足的科学和工程领域，尤其是妇女的代表。通信的通信与无线通信和运输基础设施交织在一起。这在基础架构之间创造了交叉依赖性，既带来了独特的挑战，又提供了新的机会，这些机会通过基本贡献来解决。具体而言，该项目旨在建立一门车辆流行病学科学，该科学结合，借鉴并促进了流行病学，最佳控制，游戏理论以及车辆和无线通信领域。 为此，该项目旨在推进理论方法，包括基于Pontryagin的最大原则的群集流行病学差异方程，最佳控制以及对流行病学表述的动态游戏，所有这些都在车辆到各种通信环境中都是创新的。该项目进一步包括对理论发现的数据驱动验证，包括将与更广泛的研究社区共享的计算和仿真软件。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响来评估的支持标准。
