Title: Research Challenges in Intelligent Transportation Networks
Speaker: Professor CK Toh
Bio: http://monet.knu.ac.kr/~cktoh
Date: 8 May 2008

Abstract:
In the past, we were concerned about accessibility to and from places and destinations. Well-connected roads and motorways were the prime factors in transportation (road) systems. These days, information technology and mobile communications have penetrated our transportation systems, resulting in what we called "information-driven", "knowledge-based", and "wirelessly-enabled" superhighways. Cars are no longer excelling in their electronics and motoring capabilities. They are now equipped with advanced communication systems, offering navigation, roadside, and emergency services. Ad hoc mobile communications and networking technologies have allowed cars to "talk" to one another, resulting in "car-to-car" communication networks which can potentially revolutionalize the way we drive, commute, shop, entertainment, etc., in the future. This new "platform" will need to engage key players from automotive, telecommunications, and computing industries.

In this keynote, I shall present the issues, technologies, and future research challenges associated with this new paradigm of wireless car2car communication networks.
