Emotive Driver Advisor System (EDAS)

  • Conference paper
Informatics in Control, Automation and Robotics

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering ((LNEE,volume 89))

Abstract

This paper describes the Emotive Driver Advisory System (EDAS), Ford Research & Advanced Engineering’s project on next generation driver assistance. EDAS integrates several emerging technologies, focusing on personalization and adaptive and intelligent behavior. We will provide a high-level overview of the EDAS architecture, focusing on novel consumer-facing features, such as the emotive spoken dialogue system and an Avatar as an automotive human machine interface. Furthermore, we will discuss the benefits of cloud-based vehicle infotainment and decision support and how this can be integrated in a vehicle environment. The system concept was revealed at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show and the 2009 North American International Auto Show.
