Self-adaptive prototype for seat adaptation aims at enhancing the physical comfort of a driver by taking into account not only the state of the environment (state of the road, car settings), but also the driver’s emotional, cognitive and physical state. To implement this prototype we used a REFLECTive middleware, which provides a programming framework for the development of pervasive-adaptive applications. The REFLECTive middleware supports selfadaptive behavior and is generally composed of three tiers: Tangible tier contains services that read sensors data and send commands to actuators; REFLECTive tier is responsible for analyzing the data collected from sensors and for defining the actions that will be performed by actuators; Application tier facilitates high-level decision making. The seat adaptation prototype uses the information about Center of Pressure (COP) speed and number of bumps to determine the driver’s physical state, and then it combines this information with the driver’s cognitive and emotional state to figure out if the driver feels uncomfortable, and to change the state of seat cushions in an attempt to make driver feel more comfortable. The components of the seat adaptation prototype in the REFLECTive and Application tier are implemented using reaction rules.

Abstract

Self-adaptive prototype for seat adaptation aims at enhancing the physical comfort of a driver by taking into account not only the state of the environment (state of the road, car settings), but also the driver’s emotional, cognitive and physical state. To implement this prototype we used a REFLECTive middleware, which provides a programming framework for the development of pervasive-adaptive applications. The REFLECTive middleware supports selfadaptive behavior and is generally composed of three tiers: Tangible tier contains services that read sensors data and send commands to actuators; REFLECTive tier is responsible for analyzing the data collected from sensors and for defining the actions that will be performed by actuators; Application tier facilitates high-level decision making. The seat adaptation prototype uses the information about Center of Pressure (COP) speed and number of bumps to determine the driver’s physical state, and then it combines this information with the driver’s cognitive and emotional state to figure out if the driver feels uncomfortable, and to change the state of seat cushions in an attempt to make driver feel more comfortable. The components of the seat adaptation prototype in the REFLECTive and Application tier are implemented using reaction rules.
