A design of Telematics application framework on ubiquitous sensor networks

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce new types of Telematics services for a convergence of Telematics and USN technology and explain several requirements needed for those services, Then, we propose a Telematics application framework that can satisfy those requirements of a real-time service, a reliable data acquisition, and an efficient query processing. The framework is composed of Telematics sensor nodes, Telematics service station, and Telematics vehicle that can provide users with reliable and real-time traffic safety services, Also, we present important issues and solutions that can be applied to an implementation of the framework; In-network spatial query processing, vehicle location determination, and real-time and reliable routing protocol. It is expected that this framework can be helpful for the future Telematics services as a standard model when ubiquitous computing society is pervasively activated. © Springer-Vorlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
