Name: SARATHI – Personalized Mobility Services for Urban Travelers
-
Partners: Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), Delhi (India), Inria MiMove.
The focus of the Sarathi project is on creating a personalized mobility service platform for urban travelers. The proposed work would require work on large scale mobile participatory sensing, urban transportation, location-aware services, machine learning, and software engineering. The individual strength of MiMove and IIIT provide complementary technical benefits for the project. MiMove leverages its work on large scale mobile participatory sensing (so far focused on EU-based transit contexts) addressing challenges brought to the fore by dynamic large scale systems in India; IIIT will build up on their previous work on mobile based system to provide route information and work on learning and mining techniques for inferring events of interest in transport systems.
Besides the complementary technical benefits, the collaboration will also help the project in evaluating the proposed solution in context of both developing and developed countries with different societal structure and preferences. Since personalized services are an integral part of the solution, the variety in social structures of India and France will help in developing solutions that are valid across continents. A deployment of the proposed solution in India will also test scalability and robustness of the solution in resource-constrained environments (e.g. intermittent network connectivity, low bandwidth) and will help in developing solutions that can be deployed in different working environments. Similarly, France (with already an advanced transit system) offers opportunities in verifying the requirements of a successful sustainable transport system.

We have a lasting collaboration with Prof. Fabio Costa at the Federal University of Goias (UFG), Brazil, on self-adaptive ubiquitous and cloud-based systems. This collaboration was funded by the Inria-Brazil International Scientific Cooperation Program during the period 2012-2014. In 2015, Raphael de Aquino Gomes, UFG PhD student, conducted an 1-year PhD internship with MiMove, funded by a scholarship of the CAPES/CNPq Brazilian Science without Borders program. A collaborative project proposal by Inria MiMove and UFG was submitted at the "Associate Teams with Brazil Program" 2016 Call, co-funded by Inria and the Brazilian Research Foundations (FAPs). The project was successfully evaluated and will be funded for three years, enabling further fruitful exchanges between UFG and Inria MiMove.
