The University of Southern California will receive $412,389 under a three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to develop the Platform for Innovative Use of Vehicle Open Telematics (PIVOT). PIVOT will establish an open community platform and data repository to support research in vehicle cybersecurity, intelligent transportation, and smart communities. The University of Southern California will work with Colorado State University, the University of Memphis, and SRI International on this effort.
Specifically, PIVOT will make available new in-vehicle and telematics datasets, an open source data repository, and tools to collect, process and analyze vehicular data. It will provide researcher services for securely sharing and evaluating datasets. PIVOT aims to catalyze new research through access to hard-to-obtain data from millions of vehicles. It will also strengthen the research community by facilitating collaboration and exchange of ideas. Annual workshops will further build the community and support advances in automotive security and smart transportation.
