Architecture of Traffic Control Systems Using Cloud Computing

Viktor V. Brizgalov, Viktor Chukhantsev, Evgeny Fedorkin Siberian State University of Telecommunications and Informatics, Novosibirsk, Russia
Abstract

The implementation of the traffic control system can help in solving such motor transport related problems as environmental pollution, gridlocks, car thefts, road safety. The main goal of this paper is analyzing architecture of the traffic control systems using cloud computing. There will be shown the architecture for practical realization.

tion delivery, or that is specifically designed for delivery of cloud services and that, in either case, is essentially useless without it. Examples include some computers, phones and other devices, operating systems and brows ers. The next layer is application: cloud application services or "Software as a Service (SaaS)" deliver software as a service over the Internet, eliminating the need to install and run the application on the customer's own computers and simplifying maintenance and support. Key characte ristics include network-based access to, and management of, commercially available (i.e., not custom) software; activities that are managed from central locations rather than at each customer's site, enabling customers to access applications remotely via the Web; application delivery that typically is closer to a one-to-many model (single instance, multi-tenant architecture) than to a one-to-one model, including architecture, pricing, partnering, and management characteristics; centralized feature updating, which obviates the need for downloadable patches and upgrades. Platform layer: cloud platform services or "Platform as a Service (PaaS)" deliver a computing platform and/or solution stack as a service, often consuming cloud infra structure and sustaining cloud applications. It facilitates deployment of applications without the cost and complex ity of buying and managing the underlying hardware and software layers. Infrastructure layer: cloud infrastructure services or "In frastructure as a Service (IaaS)" deliver computer infra structure, typically a platform virtualization environment as a service. Instead of purchasing servers, software, data center space or network equipment clients buy such re sources as a fully outsourced service. The service is typi cally billed on a utility computing basis and amount of resources consumed (and therefore the cost) will typically reflect the level of activity. It is an evolution of virtual private server offerings.

I. INTRODUCTION

intellectual transport control systems. Intellectual trans port control systems are the concept of the integral sys tems, where the following systems are integrated: video observation, data transmission, data processing and auto matic control. Some parts of system architecture can be presented as cloud computing.

AST IMPROVEMENT of the information technology and data transmission allows the development of the

II. PROBLEM DEFINITION Current architecture of the traffic control systems in clude too many elements and suggestion will be directed to simplify architecture using cloud computing. There will be a lot of advantages in application of cloud computing. Example: it is easier to manage cloud, to scale cloud, to connect the different parts of system presented as clouds, etc. Realization of such architecture will have a lot advan tages too, because you can develop independent parts concurrently with other parts, etc.

III. THEORY Cloud architecture, the systems architecture of the software systems involved in the delivery of cloud com puting, typically involves multiple cloud components communicating with each other over application pro gramming interfaces, usually web services. This resem bles the Unix philosophy of having multiple programs each doing one thing well and working together over uni versal interfaces. Complexity is controlled and the result ing systems are more manageable than their monolithic counterparts. Cloud architecture has the five layers. Client layer: a cloud client consists of computer hardware and/or com puter software that relies on cloud computing for applica-

And the last is server layer: the server layer consists of computer hardware and/or computer software products that are specifically designed for the delivery of cloud services, including multi-core processors, cloud-specific operating systems and combined offerings. IV. RESULTS There is a type of building for architecture of the traffic control system using cloud computing (Fig. and frontend. Video source cloud includes sources of video data from streets. Example: video cameras, web-cameras, cell phones, etc. All information from video cloud goes to the data storage cloud.

four clouds: data processing, data storage, video source

The data storage cloud saves information from the vid eo source cloud and from data processing cloud too. It can use various technologies such as: NoSQL, etc. Data processing cloud works with information from da ta storage cloud. It analyzes information (license plate recognition, traffic modeling) and results go to the data storage cloud. Frontend cloud represents information for clients. In formation can be represented in various forms: web inter face, standalone application, etc. Inner representation of clouds can also include clouds. DBMS, RDBMS,
