CANARIE supports R&D to ease traffic congestion

CANARIE has invested $700,000 to establish an On-Line Network-Enabled Intelligent Transportation System (ONE-ITS) platform to reduce traffic congestion, fuel consumption and enhance safety in modern urban environments. The platform has been installed at the Univ of Toronto's ITS Centre and Testbed allowing collaborative R&D to be conducted among widely dispersed researchers. The platform will utilize CANARIE's high-speed, high-bandwidth networking capabilities. It utilizes web, communications and software technologies for vehicle tracking, integrated traffic control and visualization of complex transportation simulations....
