This paper presents an adaptive onboard tourist guide and its experimental evaluation.

Abstract

This paper presents an adaptive onboard tourist guide and its experimental evaluation. The guide is an adaptive system which modifies its behaviour (time of activation, content, presentation layout) according to a model it dynamically builds about the user (driver) and the context of interaction (time, location and driving conditions). After a short description of the role that adaptation can play in mobile systems installed on vehicles, the paper describes goals and architecture of the system, focusing on the forms of adaptation it implements. Finally the paper presents an evaluation exercise carried out to test the system. This preliminary evaluation is very promising as regards both suggested content and the way they are provided. This last issue is particularly critical for the driver safety and depends on a proper evaluation of the user capabilities and of the contextual situation.
