Cloud-support for collaborative services in connected cars scenarios

Abstract

This paper investigates the support that cloud services and applications bring to use-cases for enhanced driving situation awareness. The focus of these services is to support the decision an automated car needs to take when the situation dictates that a hand-over to the driver or a take-over by the automated driving system is required, in the context of driving scenarios proposed in VI-DAS by experts. Collaboration is viewed from a spatio-temporal perspective and as such the paper will elaborate on which kind of communication and what kind of context awareness suit driving scenarios.
