A Context Aware Automatic Traffic Notification System for Cell Phones

Adaptation of devices and applications based on contextual information has a great potential to enhance usability and mitigate the increasing complexity of mobile devices. We have developed a context aware system that can automatically notify user of the traffic conditions by predicting their destination and route using context. In this paper, we describe the system in detail, including data collection, user interaction, context fusion, and learning and prediction of user's destination and route.
