Presented by Lifeng Sang 788.11J Presentation “Mobile Macroscopes: The CarTel Project” MIT CSAIL Presented by Lifeng Sang
The Main Idea A mobile sensor computing system designed to collect, process, deliver, and visualize data from sensors located on mobile units such as automobiles.
The Main Achievements A working system that has been running on six cars in a small-scale deployment for over a year. Main contributions: Extending the notion of continuous queries to handle intermittent connectivity. Enabling modular upgrades to integrate new sensors and data types CafNet: “carry-and-forward” delay-tolerant network stack
The Challenges Providing a simple application programming interface Handling intermittent and variable network connectivity: mobile & opportunistic Handling a large amount of heterogeneous data
Pictures
Innovation A synthesis of ideas in mobile system, sensor data management and delay-tolerant networks into a single system.
