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.

车联网通信是一项变革性的新兴技术，有望增强交通安全和交通管理，从而挽救生命并通过缓解交通拥堵产生重大经济收益。这项技术将使车辆能够相互通信，并与交通信号灯、路边装置、自行车、轮椅和行人进行通信，以增强所有这些组成部分对路况的态势感知。该项目旨在通过跨学科的研究工作，提供建模、设计、优化和保护其整体组件的工具，从而促进车联网通信技术的部署。该研究需要开发新颖且易于计算的数学模型，用于（1）表征不同道路成分之间的消息传播； （二）共同优化交通通讯目标； (3) 阻止安全威胁。 该教育计划包括培养一支具备交通工程和管理、电气工程和网络安全等跨领域知识的劳动力队伍。该项目还包括对交通当局决策者的外展活动以及旨在扩大科学和工程领域代表性不足的少数群体（特别是女性）代表性的计划。车对万物通信将无线通信和运输基础设施交织在一起。这在基础设施之间产生了交叉依赖性，既提出了独特的挑战，又提供了项目通过基本贡献解决的新机遇。具体来说，该项目旨在建立一门车辆流行病学科学，它结合、借鉴并促进流行病学、最优控制、博弈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，包括聚类流行病学微分方程、基于庞特里亚金极大值原理的最优控制以及流行病学公式的动态博弈，所有这些在车辆到万物通信的背景下都是创新的。该项目还包括对理论结果的数据驱动验证，包括将与更广泛的研究界共享的计算和模拟软件。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的评估进行评估，被认为值得支持。影响审查标准。
