Transportation system management and traveler information systems evolve with the development of data communications and intelligence of traffic simulations. Variety of roadside and mobile sensing platforms will be deployed to allow communication between vehicles with Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC). Traffic data received from moving vehicles will be transmitted to each individual vehicle and traffic management center to provide real time traffic information. Microscopic traffic simulation models will be used for generating intelligence from real time data in the form of traffic analysis and prediction, since they have the highest detailed level of prediction such as vehicle / driver characteristics and have the capability to capture dynamically changing traffic conditions through the simulation. In this study, three communication methods for data communication and intelligence in traffic simulation environments are used including Ethernet, off-the-shelf wireless network, and one commercial network provider for data communication. Simulation time is measured and statistically analyzed using three different communication methods and one non-communication case. Also, traffic simulation performance is investigated to demonstrate the intelligence of traffic simulation tools in modeling traffic congestion.

Traffic information services and traffic simulations represent a crucial element for to- day’s mobility. Traffic data may be gained using different types of sensor technologies and measurement approaches. However, there is no “one fits for all solution” related to the application of sensor technology and providers of traffic information services need to care- fully decide when to apply which kind of sensor technology and measurement approach to provide traffic information.In Upper Austria, ITS Upper Austria represents such a traffic information provider. For the calculation of travel times and delays, real-time traffic sensors and a traffic simulation are currently in use. The latter is required when the amount of current real–time traffic information related to a link is too low for providing reasonable traffic information.ITS Upper Austria implemented its traffic simulation using the SUMO software. The demand model used for the simulation was built years ago, mainly using data from a household survey in Upper Austria in 2012. Based on this demand model, a route file was composed, which serves as input for the mesoscopic simulation. However, to increase the quality of the simulation, the route file needs to be continuously updated with respect to changing traffic behaviors (e.g. route traces, amount of cars). Different types of sensor data might trigger the calibration of traffic simulation models. For example Floating-Car-data, Bluetooth-data, data gained by permanent counting stations or even traffic times gained within test rides. Triggering updates of the traffic simulation model requires a careful analysis of the data basis and an appropriate update algorithm.This paper presents a traffic simulation update algorithm based upon diverse traffic data sources. Furthermore, findings related to the applicability of different sensor technologies for triggering simulation model updates are discussed. The findings stem from developments and empirical tests of ITS Upper Austria. The results could inform traffic information service provides when selecting sensor technology or when designing update mechanisms related to traffic simulation models.

The need for monitoring, effective and efficient control and evaluation of water quality in regional waters Surabaya become a demand for population growth, climate change and variability in the current era of urbanization. The traditional method is done by collecting water samples, test and analyze water in the laboratory has been relatively expensive and do not have the ability to capture real-time data, analysis and information delivery fast in making decisions. On the other hand, the rapid spread in the use of mobile phones in developing countries has increased mobile data management applications. A variety of mobile applications has also increased in recent years. This is because mobile phones cheap, easy to use and can transmit multiple types of information including images and GPS data remotely. In this paper, the author describes a data communication system of  water quality resources based on UDP protocol. This system is called ubiquitous mobile sensing consisting of microcontroller Arduino, water quality sensors, and Android smartphones. It has the ability to detect temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), pH and electrical conductivity (EC) in real time. By using this monitoring system, the data result is expected more accurate, faster and cheaper.

Abstract An cloud computing platform based on B/S architecture and docker container technology for autonomous driving simulation has been established in this paper. The map editor module of the cloud platform lets users design 3D scenes for simulating and testing automated driving systems. When the customized roadway scene for simulation created, it would be saved as OpenDrive format both for the server of cloud platform and CarMaker’s TestRun which all parameters of the virtual environment (vehicle, road, tires, etc.) are sufficiently defined. Then, based on the application online (APO) communication protocol of CarMaker, the local APO agent service was created. When the 27 parameters of vehicle dynamics received from CarMaker server, they were sent to the cloud platform in real time through UPD protocol. The process of data communication is completed by APO agent. Through the work above, a co-simulation between cloud platform and CarMaker could be successfully established for autonomous driving with seventeen-degree-of-freedom. Through the co-simulation experiment, it is found that the real-time data sampling frequency of the co-simulation is 70Hz, which completes the synchronous simulation of carmaker and cloud platform.

With the wide application of Internet of things technology and era of large data in agriculture, smart agricultural design based on Internet of things technology can efficiently realize the function of real-time data communication and information processing and improve the development of smart agriculture. In the process of analyzing and processing a large amount of planting and environmental data, how to extract effective information from these massive agricultural data, that is, how to analyze and mine the needs of these large amounts of data, is a pressing problem to be solved. According to the needs of agricultural owners, this article studies and optimizes the data storage, data processing, and data mining of large data generated in the agricultural production process, and it uses the k-means algorithm based on the maximum distance to study the data mining. The crop growth curve is simulated and compared with improved K-means algorithm and the original k-means algorithm in the experimental analysis. The experimental results show that the improved K-means clustering method has an average reduction of 0.23 s in total time and an average increase of 7.67% in the F metric value. The algorithm in this article can realize the functions of real-time data communication and information processing more efficiently, and has a significant role in promoting agricultural informatization and improving the level of agricultural modernization.
