A cloud based testbed for research and education in intelligent transportation system

The rapid evolution of technologies makes it possible to create remote laboratory for research and educational purposes. This paper presents a testbed that can conduct experiments following commands from a remote client. It is a small-scaled intelligent transportation system (ITS) testbed which can collect data, perform configuration and control the radio-controlled (RC) car. The remote client can configure the experiment by designing the RC car trajectories and selecting the data to collect. The server in the testbed manages the testbed and enables the transmission of the data per the client´s request. The testbed was validated with two case studies related to intelligent transportation systems in which the client can detect driver drowsiness and anomaly driving behavior using the data collected by the server from this cloud-based testbed.
