Distributed urban traffic applications based on CORBA event services

摘要

Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) in urban environments are based today onmodern embedded systems with enhanced digital connectivity and higher processing capabilities,supporting distributed applications working in a cooperative manner. This paper provides anoverview about modern cooperative ITS equipments and presents a distributed application tobe used in an urban data network. As a case example, an application based on an embeddedCORBA-compliant middleware layer and several computer vision equipments is presented.Results prove the feasibility of distributed applications for building intelligent urbanenvironments.
