Wu Ming, Min Liu, Jianfeng Lu · Advances in intelligent systems research/Advances in Intelligent Systems Research · 2013
With the development of intelligent transportation, a large amount of heterogeneous data has emerged from various sensors and terminal applications.An efficient approach to process data is needed in information platform of intelligent transportation system (ITS).This paper presents a lightweight Representational State Transfer (REST) Web Service to process data and provide service support for up layer application, using JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) and Extensible Markup Language (XML) to exchange data.It focuses on two specific aspects in information platform of ITS: sensor data gathering and emergency notification.The application in ubiquitous network of intelligent transportation project proves its validity and feasibility, and some improvement measures are proposed at the end of the paper.
