An Integrated Framework for Vehicular and Urban Sensing

In this work, we examine the integration of vehicular sensing and urban sensing to assess the operation, performance and environmental impact of vehicles in urban settings. We have designed an integrated framework for vehicular and urban sensing. A prototype implementation of this framework has been developed by building a testbed based on campus shuttle buses. We discuss the design and implementation of this system, focusing on its hardware platform and software architecture.
