Abstract

Smart cars are a promising application domain for ubiquitous computing. In the highly mobile car, it is a challenging task to provide a comfortable, convenient, nonintrusive, and safe space that can ubiquitously access information and service. This chapter presents a general framework of smart car space from the point of view of context-awareness. A specific context model is proposed for describing both simple and complex context in smart car space. A driver behavior model for a smart car is proposed for comfortable car-following and multi-task processing. A smart car space prototype is built for demonstration and verification.
