Title: Transportation in the New Era of Data Intelligence:  Challenges, Mandate, Experiences and Research Agenda

Abstract

The new era of ground, maritime and air transportation promotes intelligence in analytic of big trajectory data, in order to increase systems’ autonomy, safety and productivity.
A large volume of sensor networks and trajectories of mobile objects are collected. Such data offer us high value knowledge to understand moving objects and locations, fostering a broad range of applications in smart cities, enabling intelligent transportation systems and intelligent urban computing. Consequently, we need to engineer scalable and smart Trajectory Data Analytic Systems in order to analyse both historical data and real-time data flows. Trajectory data feature characteristics, which traditional systems cannot handle, such as high volume, high velocity and high variety as well as veracity concerns.
In this keynote, we first present a mandate for intelligent transportation in the big data era. In the second part we share the outcome of our projects for smart maritime, ground and aircraft transportation. Finally we present a research agenda.
