As described in our summary of the South Carolina Connected Vehicle Testbed, we have developed and deployed a small Connected Vehicle testbed at Clemson University. The system supports standards based WAVE/DSRC equipment including a small set of safety applications that are now available in new vehicles. The research was to explore the CV design space options when extended or advanced network services were available. The advanced services meant facilitating the use of additional wireless networks (WiFi, LTE, bluetooth) in a coordinated manner. To promote access to experimental wireless infrastructure we developed a middleware system that could provide the command and control overlay that was need to manage a wireless hetnet and that could provide a simplifying application level abstraction. The idea was to provide a common set of services reducing the amount of redundent effort collaborators might experience when working with the system. Further, it allowed us to prototype and test new ideas for CVs that would bypass limitations of IP in a mobile adhoc environment. Dubbed ThinGs In a Fog (TGIF), the broader system goal was to develop a framework to support Internet of Things (IOT) research.
