SVE: embedded agent based smart vehicle environment

Smart space is one of the important applications of pervasive computing. We put the concept of smart space into the field of intelligent transportation system, and bring forward a framework of smart vehicle environment based on embedded agent. In this paper we discuss the structure and characteristics of SVE and an example of SVE is given. Its trait is utilizing embedded hardware and context-aware computing technology to unite all of the electronic equipments into a smart space, thus we can provide active, attentive and comprehensive service including auto drive for the users. A key innovation of the paper is the proposal of embedded agent. We have brought into further discussion its application mode.
