With the rapid prevalence of Grid technologies, more attentions have to be focused on Grid applications. The paper presents a framework for traffic information service Grid (TISG) in order to eliminate information islands and to implement resource sharing and collaboration in the intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Based on Red Had Linux, Globus Toolkit 4.0 (GT4), and other related tools, the paper proposes the implementation model of TISG and investigates the key techniques to build TISG. Therefore, an application platform of traffic Grid is built, which conforms to the standard of OGSA in the aspects of common use, convenience, efficiency, and security. The research on traffic laws is conducted in TISG. Applying Grid to ITS will promote the development and popularization of Grid applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
