A context aware framework for services management in the transportation domain

Abstract

The transportation domain brings particular needs dealing with the specificities of the environment (highly mobile, distributed, unstable network connection, …). In this paper, we propose a dynamic adaptable framework responding to the needs of transportation's applicative services. Among the most important services we can name positioning, time or communication capabilities. To achieve both this flexibility and automate context adaptation, we rely on a Service Oriented architecture and experiment our proposition on the inter-vehicular communication system, VESPA. This framework is based on the use of context informations for the transportation domain.
