Future Research Plans:
I am interested in applying the latest scientific achievements in Computer Science - Mobile ad-hoc Networking - into the Intelligent Traffic Information Systems domain. My main research directions are as follows:
Developing of the theoretical underpinning in the design and implementation of Intelligent Traffic Information Systems. Topics and established collaboration institutions include:
- Investigation of routing protocols in MANET (mobile ad-hoc networks) – designing and evaluating novel routing protocols for mobile ad-hoc networks applied to the urban and motorway traffic (Cambridge).
- Introducing new ad-hoc network architectures for intelligent mobile nodes - investigating the granularity of information in such networks and investigating the characteristics of information collection and distribution (Nottingham University).
- Assessing the feasibility of using new Mobile TCP/IP (MTCP/IP) stack: Investigation into the feasibility of new generation TCP/IP software stack for delivering web-services in disconnected mobile ad-hoc network based environment (British Telecom).
- Application of mathematical models for traffic simulation and modelling - new traffic and traffic information system models creation and investigation (Helsinki University of Technology).
- Investigation of uncertainties for producing accurate real-time predictions of the traffic flow (Nottingham University)
- Investigation of the application of GIS in the design and implementation of Intelligent Transportation Systems (French Naval Academy - Brest, France).
Current industrial projects and intended developments under the Connected City (Wireless Nottingham) framework:
- Using WiFi ad-hoc networks and Web Cams for detecting Bus Lane usage violations. The project will initially concentrate on a single route. The potential to extend to all routes will be evaluated. New bids for attracting future funding will be prepared (Nottingham Traffic Control Centre, East Midlands Development Agency - EMDA).
- Bringing the Internet to the bus passengers: The project will evaluate the possibility of free use of internet facilities while travelling on a bus. The project will initially concentrate on a single route. The potential to extend to all routes will be evaluated. New bids for attracting future funding will be prepared (Nottingham Traffic Control Centre, EMDA).
- Route finding in large NHS complexes and hospitals - a project based on BlueTooth wireless technology and mobile phone interfacing: The project will evaluate the feasibility of creating a BlueTooth communication interface between the user's mobile phone and the hospital for finding the intended route to chosen location without engaging staff time in the process - thus freeing staff time for other important duties (Queens Medical Centre, Nottingham, EMDA).
