城市移动群：可扩展的实现
Urban Mobility Swarms: A Scalable Implementation
摘要：
我们提出了一个系统，以协调“城市流动群”，以促进使用和安全的轻量级，可持续的交通，同时提高城市的活力和社区结构。这项工作借鉴了蟋蟀和萤火虫等夜间昆虫群的行为，从而将个体统一在分散的网络中。在这些情况下，协调自然会出现，并提供了一个令人信服的“人数优势”的证明。我们的工作适用于协调轻型车辆，如自行车，这是自动引入到特设的“群”，由同步脉动的光联合起来。我们将个人骑手建模为分散网络中的节点，并通过点对点消息协议和算法同步他们的行为，这保护了个人隐私。节点通过无线电广播，其传输范围被调整以定位群成员。然后，节点加入或断开与其他基于接近，适应动态变化的城市移动网络的拓扑结构。本文提供了我们的系统的技术描述，包括协议和算法，以协调从它出现的群集行为。我们还展示了其在代码，电路和硬件的实现，与系统原型上测试的城市自行车共享。在这样做的时候，我们展示了我们系统的可扩展性。我们的原型使用低成本组件，自行车共享计划管理分布在城市的自行车队，可以在城市规模上部署该系统。我们灵活、分散的设计允许额外的自行车与网络连接，从而增强其规模和影响力。
英文摘要：
We present a system to coordinate 'urban mobility swarms' in order to promote the use and safety of lightweight, sustainable transit, while enhancing the vibrancy and community fabric of cities. This work draws from behavior exhibited by swarms of nocturnal insects, such as crickets and fireflies, whereby synchrony unifies individuals in a decentralized network. Coordination naturally emerges in these cases and provides a compelling demonstration of 'strength in numbers'. Our work is applied to coordinating lightweight vehicles, such as bicycles, which are automatically inducted into ad-hoc 'swarms', united by the synchronous pulsation of light. We model individual riders as nodes in a decentralized network and synchronize their behavior via a peer-to-peer message protocol and algorithm, which preserves individual privacy. Nodes broadcast over radio with a transmission range tuned to localize swarm membership. Nodes then join or disconnect from others based on proximity, accommodating the dynamically changing topology of urban mobility networks. This paper provides a technical description of our system, including the protocol and algorithm to coordinate the swarming behavior that emerges from it. We also demonstrate its implementation in code, circuity, and hardware, with a system prototype tested on a city bike-share. In doing so, we evince the scalability of our system. Our prototype uses low-cost components, and bike-share programs, which manage bicycle fleets distributed across cities, could deploy the system at city-scale. Our flexible, decentralized design allows additional bikes to then connect with the network, enhancing its scale and impact.
