Abstract

Nomadic devices such as mobile phones and PDAs are becoming increasingly ubiquitous and essential for daily use in modern society - see (EU Communication). At the same time the automotive vehicle is benefiting from an increasing range of new technologies to provide the driver with more informationand driving aids. But little work has been carried out to explore and analyse the interaction between these nomad devices and the automotive systems, and their impact on safety. The AIDE project plans to safely integrate these into a seamless and safe automotive environment to benefit the driver and society at large.
