Intelligent traffic Cloud: combination of intelligent transportation and cloud computing

Its is the product of traffic and computer fusion. Traffic and computer technology have changed a lot recently. Transportation, along with the European Union, North America, East Asia Regional economic integration, the above regions of the transport logistics integration of the pace of more and more quickly. Adapting to this trend, the construction of cloud data center of information centralization mode becomes the inevitable choice. In computer technology, the emergence of "cloud computing" model provides a new idea for the construction of Computing center. This paper combines the latest development of the two, and puts forward the concept of "intelligent traffic cloud". And the "Traffic card data exchange Center" and "cargo and container RFID data Exchange Center" as an example to explain.

(i) Summary

1.1 Economic background, regional logistics integration

After the war, Germany and France as the core, Europe initiated the process of integration. At present, European integration has achieved fruitful results in the fields of politics, economy and culture education. Followed by the United States, Canada as the core, launched the North American integration process. The most recent focus of regional integration is the process of East Asian integration, which Japan has actively advocated, with China and Japan as its core. In particular, after the Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama took office, put forward the "off Europe into Asia" to build a new East Asian order. Recently, the Japanese government has sent more than 643 people to visit China, this trend is particularly noticeable.

Although the East Asian integration still faces many complicated problems in politics, East Asian integration is a general trend in the economy. Especially in the field of transportation and logistics, such as the submarine Tunnel of China and South Korea, the extension of expressway and high-speed railway to East Asia, has become the focus of attention and research of the official and nongovernmental organizations in East Asia.

In the midst of each regional integration, there is always a similar core of Gemini. The EU's Gemini is Germany and France, it is self-evident that the East Asian Gemini is China-Japan. Along with the progress of integration, cooperation will become more and more close, the political gap between the two will gradually melt away. With the deepening of political mutual trust, both will strengthen the control over the dominance of economic interests. This focus is on finance, transportation and information dominance and control.

Economy can be expounded from different angles, in a sense, the so-called economy is a result of capital flow, logistics, and information flow. Therefore, the control of the three is achieved, and the dominant power of regional integration is mastered.

For example, the current China's road and rail extension program is a hot spot, because if China's roads and railways can be extended to Southeast Asia, then we can grasp the East Asian logistics dominance. But from this issue, we also see the current decision planning on the "see" of the road railway, and the "invisible" information ignored. In fact, with the gradual development of logistics transportation from traditional logistics to modern logistics, the two show more and more strong integration, and the importance of information is more and more prominent. This can be explained by the integration of financial and information development.

1.2 Capital flow, logistics, information flow integration

Financial flows, physical flows and information flows are the main manifestations of economic activity (including, of course, the flow of people). This paper probes into the process of information construction in financial industry and how financial supervision institutions can control and control the capital flow through controlling and managing the leading information, which is of great significance for the information planning and construction of transportation industry.

Take ICBC as an example. A customer in ICBC needs to transfer a portion of an account to another account in ICBC, and the transfer can be done through ICBC's own system. However, if ICBC's account is to be transferred to CCB's account, this involves trans-bank transfer issues. In the past, this process was mainly done through bank bills manually. Starting from the late 70 's. The central Bank of China, the PBC, has begun to explore the issue of Trans-bank transfer, payment and liquidation by means of computer. After 95 years a pilot system construction. At present, the Chinese state Modern payment system Cnaps (National Advanced Payment System) has been completed and provided services to various commercial banks such as ICBC, CCB, ABC and many small and medium-sized banks.

Cnaps mainly includes large payment system, small batch payment system, same city clearing system, bank card credit system and so on. But in addition to providing payment and clearing services for commercial banks, it also takes on the regulatory functions of central banks such as supporting the implementation of monetary policy, preventing and controlling the risk of payment, and obtaining the basic data of the industry.

With the aid of centralized processing model, the central bank does not directly involve the specific business of commercial banks, such as absorbing deposit deposits and issuing loans, but through the control of information system, it realizes the management and control of the whole financial system.

Within a country, a central bank is in the hands of the bank's interbank payment clearing information system. The international settlement of payments is mainly through the swift system. Swift is an international interbank clearing system that is dominated by U.S., Canadian and European banks. The system began construction in 1973 and has now become a basic communication network for international financial settlement, sending up to 5 million messages a day, amounting to trillions of dollars. It also reflects the dominance of the United States in the international financial system. It can be seen that, whether domestic or international, a country or an organization of the level of control of information systems, in fact, reflects the country or the agency in the entire industry control.

It can be said that the development of information and financial industry is inseparable, which also provides a reference for the information construction of the transportation industry. With the development of traffic informatization, in order to better supervise the transportation industry and to grasp the information of the transportation industry comprehensively, it is the development direction of the information construction of the traffic industry to build a large concentration model cloud data center.

1.3 Technical background, cloud computing Center

The development of Computer center has undergone a change of "concentrating & #8658, dispersing & #8658 and then concentrating". Therefore, before the construction of the Computing Center, a brief review of the development of the computing center.

When the electronic computer was invented in 1945, it was mainly used for military purposes. With the incorporation of commercial companies, computers are increasingly being applied to commercial applications from military applications. Early computers were a very expensive device, and only a few large commercial companies had the financial means. Even for companies with strong financial resources, it is wasteful to have a user exclusive of computer resources. In order to improve utilization efficiency, the mode of Computing Center is mainframe + terminal mode. With the development of the computer, the mainframe has a medium-sized machine, minicomputer came out, but the entire application of the model is the mainframe, medium-sized machines, minicomputer as the core of the centralized application mode.

After entering the 80 's, IBM launched personal PC PCs, and as the PC's processing power continued to improve, it was found that many of the computing centers handled tasks that could be replaced by personal PCs. So in addition to banking, insurance, oil and other specialized fields are still using the mainframe, most of the commercial companies are using a PC, or PC server to deal with. In other words, the usage pattern of the computer goes from centralization to decentralization.

Into the the 1990s, with the development of the Internet, the computing center again from decentralization to focus. This is the current Computer application field of hot concept-cloud computing. In essence it is the return of the previous mainframe + terminal mode, but now the cloud computing Center is no longer the physical meaning of the mainframe, but many servers composed of server clusters.

Because of the rapid development of the Internet, these server clusters are physically distributed, but logically unified, providing a wide range of computing and storage services for terminals through this unified virtual Cloud computing center. Just like we visit Sina website. Sina has tens of thousands of servers all over the world, but for the end users, there is only one Sina site.

We can liken cloud computing to power grids, and server clusters are likened to power stations. There can be a lot of power stations, but users don't care where a few of the power stations are, just as they can use electricity to connect to the grid, using the resources of the cloud Computing Center to store data and perform a variety of calculations.
