Implementation of the android-based automotive infortainment system for supporting drivers' safe driving

Abstract

The automotive infortainment systems providing the navigation and multimedia functions have been developed. Regrettably, none of the systems that have been released up to date have any function seeking drivers' safety. Now, it is required to develop an automotive infortainment system performing an action to support drivers' safe driving in addition to providing convenience for drivers during the course of driving. This paper presents a study on implementation of the automotive infortainment system based on the android platform embedded hardware. The system designed in this paper have additional functions supporting drivers' safe driving (i.e., black box and self-diagnosis functions) as well as functions of the existing automotive infortainment systems (i.e., navigation and multimedia). © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2014.
