Introduction to Telematics.Telematics

Computers

Telecommunication

Shift in the interpretation of term telematics towards applications based on wireless communication.

History of Telematics.y

Economic and social organization of the society would be well transformed. Subsequently resulted in smaller and cheaper computers. Computation time was a challenge previously, neither could they be connected to each other.

y

y

Continuedy

With development of smaller PCs in 70s widespread computation came into effect. Computers became geographically distributed, need for data exchange aroused. Thus using telecommunication technologies were used to connect computers.THIS WAS BIRTH OF TELEMATICS

y

Transport Telematics.History

First Stolen Car.

y

Also known as Intelligent Transportation System(ITS) and Transport Information and Control System(TCS). Example : Navigation System.

y

Telematics Technology: Artificial Passenger.y

The AP is an artificial intelligencebased companion . The heart of the system is a conversation planner .Microphone. Camera. Voice Analyzer.

y

y

Slow responses and a lack of intonation are signs of fatigue.

Continuedy

We can make predictions about various aspects of driver performance. The natural dialog car system analyzes a drivers answer. Detects if a driver is affected by alcohol or drugs.

What Is Artificial Passenger ?y

The AP is an artificial intelligencebased companion that will be resident in software and chips embedded in the automobile dashboard.It is a Natural Language E-companion. It is a Sleep preventive device in cars to overcome drowsiness. It is a Life safety system.

Why such systems?y

National survey in UK and USA observed driver fatigue annually causes : Cause :Eye-closure of one-half second to as long as 2 to 3 seconds. It is said that the normal human eye blinks lasts 0.2 to 0.3 second.

y

y

What does it do?y y

Natural language E-companion. Sleep preventive device in cars to overcome drowsiness. Life safety system. Detects alarm conditions through sensors. Broadcasts pre-stored voice messages over the speakers. Captures images of the driver.

y y y

y

Background Of Inventiony

During the night times the driver could get sleepier which may be porn to accidents. Precautions:Use of simulation drinks (e.g.: coffee and tea) Some tablets to prevent sleeping. Miniature system installed in drivers hat.

y

Continuedy

These methods are some times inefficient. IBM introduces a new sleep prevention technology device called as ARTIFICIAL PASSENGER developed by Dimitry Kanevsky and Wlodek Zadrozny.

This software holds the conversation with driver to determine whether the driver can respond alertly enough.

Devices Used Is Artificial Passengery

The main devices that are used in this artificial passenger are:Eye tracker or Camera. Voice recognizer or speech recognizer. Touch sensors.

Devices Used Is Artificial Passengery

How does eye tracking work?Eye-tracking hardware is either mounted on a user's head or mounted remotely. Both systems measure the corneal reflection of an infrared light emitting diode (LED). This action causes the pupil to appear as a bright disk in contrast to the surrounding iris and creates a small glint (shine) underneath the pupil.

ContinuedIt is this glint that head-mounted and remote systems use for tracking.

Architecture of Artificial Passenger

Architecture

y

Picks up words and separates them by use of some software.

Architecture

y

Tracks lip movement and improve the accuracy of speech recognition .

Architecture

y

Sensor alarms when the door is not locked

Architecture

y

Sensor will periodically sprinkles the sweet air inside the vehicle.

Architecture

y

Used for the entertainment purpose.

Architecture

y

Linked to the dialog system by wireless network system Coupled with

ArchitectureCar media, driver profile, conversational planner. Driver analyzer module

It controls interruption of a dialog between thedriver and the car dashboard (for example, interrupting a conversation to deliver an urgent message about traffic conditions on an expected driver route).

Working of Artificial Passenger.

Components Supporting WorkingAutomatic Speech Recognizer (ASR) y Natural Language Processor (NLP) y Driver analyzer y Conversational planner (CP) y Alarm y External service provider y Microphone y Cameray

Continuedy

Microphone:It picks up the words and separate it using speech recognition software.

y

Camera:A camera built into the dashboard used to track the lip movement of the driver to improve the accuracy of the speech recognition.

Continuedy

Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR):There are two types of ASR:x First ASR decodes the drivers voice and decoded data is an input to NLP. x Second ASR decodes voice of car media, decodes tapes, audio books, telephone mails.

Continuedy

Natural Language Processor (NLP):Identifies semantic and syntactic content of the decoded message, produces variants of responses and outputs this data to a text input of the driver analyzer.

y

Digital Analyzer :Receives the textual data and voice data from NLP and measures the time of response using a clock.

Continuedy

Conversational planner:It instructs the language generator to produce the response.

y

Alarm:If driver is about to fall asleep then it activates an alarm system.

Continuedy

External Service Provider:Linked to the dialog system by wireless network system as it is coupled withx Car media, driver profile, conversational planner x Driver analyzer module.

Advantages of Artificial Passengery y y

Prevent accident. Used for entertainment. Establishes interface with other drivers very easily. Open/Close the window of a car automatically and also answer a call for you.

y

Continuedy

If the driver gets a heart attack or he is drunk it will send signals to vehicles nearby about this so driver there become alert. Provide a natural dialog car system that understands content of tapes, books and radio programs.

y

Applications Security guard. Operators at nuclear plants. Cabins in airplanes. Watercraft such as boats. Trains and subways.

FutureBack office data aggregation is a key enabler of telematics growth. Analyzing data and turning information to knowledge would be a push point to growth. y Designing Specifically Targeted Actionable Data.y

Conclusiony

Allow use of various services in car like reading e-mails, navigation, downloading music files, voice games without compromising a driver safety. Primary objective of the invention is to provide a system for monitoring driver alertness.
