There was a glitch in the one posted on last April 26, 2009. The right one is the following:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Job Title: Post-Doctoral position in UMTS based generating road traffic information solution
Profile: Post Doctoral
Duration: 12 months (+ 6 renewable under conditions)
Scope: Mathematical Modeling, mobile networks
Place: Orange Labs' premises in Belfort (East of France)
Date Posted: 05/18/2009
Validity: 4 months
To apply: send statement of research interests & your resume at recruit_ops2009@rd.orange-ftgroup.com
Job description:
The steady increase of traffic road raises new issues to tackle by private and public operators. Especially the traffic road state knowledge becomes a key challenge for them.
For the time being, the traffic road state knowledge relies on traffic supervision systems which require huge investments and generate high running costs of maintenance. Thus these systems are only deployed at strategic locations and the nationwide coverage is not achievable. Because of these disadvantages, road operators have been investigating new data sources to improve traffic information.
Within the laboratory Network Engineering Tools of Orange Labs, the traffic information project examines the opportunity of using mobile networks to produce additional sources of traffic information. A prototype platform, based on the exploitation of the GSM signalling data is available. Orange Labs plans to make evolve its current model toward UMTS to follow up wireless mobile network evolution. The goal of this work is to analyze the UMTS signalling data to produce relevant traffic information to be combined with the GSM ones.
The applicant will be tasked to propose a new model of traffic information combining both UMTS and GSM data. This innovative solution shall meet quality indicators of existing traffic information data (expressed in terms of precision, availability, time of detection of congestion). This model will be assessed in real Orange's networks.
Desired skills:
The position requires knowledge in UMTS architecture and protocols, experience in modeling (mathematics) and in development (C++ code and Matlab). Background in wireless radio mobile technology is desirable.
The applicant is expected to be successful in both working independently and collaboratively with researchers.
