Javier Sanchez-Medina EiC of the ITS Newsletter 2 Message from the President Social Implications of Intelligent Transportation Systems I have been spending a lot of time lately talking with some of the key individuals who helped established our IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Society so many years ago. I was amazed that a number of different IEEE societies were involved when our ITS society emerged, including the controls society, communications society, vehicular technology society, robotics and automation society, and the systems-man-cybernetics society. When I attend the IEEE Technical Activities Board (TAB) meetings, I get to interact with the different presidents of these sister societies and they often comment how ITS continues to be a fun, exciting, and growing area of research. Indeed, many of these societies often have ITS themes in their own activities. During the latest IEEE TAB meeting, I also got a chance to meet the president from the Society on Social Implications of Technology (SSIT), an IEEE society that we really never interacted with previously. Based on one of our conversations, I quickly thought about the social implications of ITS. As we all well know, the primary goals of ITS are to improve vehicle safety, traffic mobility, and to reduce environmental impacts. All three of these goals have a significant social impact: we are saving lives, improving economics through greater efficiencies, and reducing air pollution and greenhouse gases. But there is a lot more social implications that we often don’t think about, especially when we talk about the emerging fields of connected and automated vehicle systems. A few examples: Individual privacy is certainly a concern as we make our vehicles increasingly “connected”. By having GPS tracking and connecting vehicles to each other and the Internet, there are a number of potential privacy issues that crop up, with whole host of societal implications. There has been a lot of discussion on how vehicle automation will impact society as a whole. In addition to the usual questions such as “will they be safe?” and “will traffic congestion be reduced?”, we are now understanding that vehicle automation will likely open up new mobility options for the young, elderly, and disabled. This will certainly improve our societal quality of life; however, will it lead to an increase of vehicular trips with potential increased traffic congestion? Time will certainly tell. 3 Cybersecurity is certainly an important issue in everyday life, dealing with our computers and other devices. Not a week goes by without hearing how someone’s latest server got hacked and private information has been compromised. However, there could even be far worse safety ramifications in the realm of connected vehicles, if we don’t have the proper cybersecurity safeguards. If some entity maliciously broadcasted false basic safety messages, potentially dangerous crashes would likely occur. I believe that as our ITS society continues to grow, we will likely have to deal with an increasing number of social implications related to ITS technology. As such, I am now taking steps to affiliate our ITS society with the SSIT society, designated a liaison from our society to be actively involved in SSIT. Again, our role is not to simply conduct ITS research and advance ITS technology, it’s also about understanding the policy and social implications of what we do. Matt Barth IEEE ITSS President, 2014-2015 4 ITS Magazine selected for coverage in JCR I am pleased to inform you that the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Magazine has been selected for coverage in Thomson Reuter’s products and services. Beginning with V. 1 (1) 2009, the ITS Magazine will be indexed and abstracted in: Science Citation Index Expanded, Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition, and Current Contents/Engineering, Computing and Technology. The amount of articles, reports and news that we have included in the latest issues of the Magazine is getting gradually increased, something that goes hand in hand with the increasing activity of the ITS Society and its members. Our purpose is to continue our path of growth and quality in an attempt to provide our readers with the most innovative information in the field of ITS. In this issue of the ITS Magazine we include a challenging Special Issue on Connected Vehicles technologies. This Special Issue covers aspects such as integration of vehicular networks and traffic infrastructure, cooperative vehicle localization techniques, gamification tools for fuel saving, and the use of 5G antennas in very fast moving vehicles. In addition, our regular feature articles deal with a variety of different technical aspects of ITS. Thus, in a first article the authors approach the design of a data-driven geospatial-enabled transportation digital platform aiming at improving the analysis of freeway performance on the grounds of big data techniques. A second feature presents a study on the potential impact of vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-tosensor communications in urban parking areas, with a view to decreasing the parking cruising time for individual drivers by means of information provision. A third feature article introduces a unifying framework for understanding and applying different robust network designs based on the context of design goals and traffic disturbances, such as increase in demand or drop in network capacity. As usual, I would like to encourage prospective authors to share their research, innovation, and recent results with our society by submitting high-quality articles and tutorials that are of strong practical relevance to the field of Intelligent Transportation Systems. Let me remind you that the ITS Magazine intends to focus on papers with a strong link to applications, surveys, technology reviews, future trends, and reports on successful implementations. It is also open to policy, or educational issues. I am looking forward to receiving your contributions. Please, consider the ITS Magazine as the vehicle to make the scientific community aware of your research.
