ITS‐Cloud: Cloud Computing for Intelligent Transportation System

International audience; Intelligent transportation clouds could provideServices such as autonomy, mobility, decision support and thestandard development Environment for traffic managementstrategies, and so on. With mobile agent technology, anurban-traffic management system based on Agent-BasedDistributed and Adaptive Platforms for Transportation Systems(Adapts) is both feasible and effective. However, the large-scaleuse of mobile agents will lead to the emergence of a complex,powerful organization layer that requires enormous computingand power resources. To deal with this problem, we propose aprototype urban-traffic management system using multi agentbased intelligent traffic clouds. Cloud computing can help us tohandle the large amount of storage resources and masstransportation of data effectively and efficiently.
