PROPOSAL AT A GLANCE
Proposal name:
Adaptive P2P Networked GPS
Subject:
Many vehicles are equipped with GPS devices which assist them in searching the most efficient routes between two different geographic locations. However, these devices are not adaptive: they define a route based on a priori knowledge on geographic maps without considering the actual context or circumstances like the wheather, the traffic, etc.
At present, drivers must be aware not only of the routes proposed by their GPS device, but they also must be on the alert for traffic radio news in order to adjust the route to the actual circumstance. It would be desirable that the GPS device could automatically adapt the route taking into account the actual context and incidences, without the need of feedback from the driver.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Proposal Outline:
The system proposed would take as initial inputs:
o The origin and destination for the route
o The criteria for calculating an optimized route: the fastest one, the shortest one, etc.
After calculating the route, the GPS system would take control of the situation and would take into account the different incidences that would occur along the travel (a sudden change of weather, an accident, trouble with traffic, etc.) always satisfying and the driver preferences and optimizing the route.
The proposed GPS system should receive information from:
o A remote server, via GPRS/UMTS (contextual information about the weather, the traffic…)
o Sign posts located along the road or in the toll gates, with wireless communication (Zigbee, NFC, RFID).
o Other GPS devices of close vehicles
A peer to peer network would be established among a vehicle and other elements encountered along its route (vehicles, sign posts, toll gates…).
