A central feature of ubiquitous computing applications is their capability to automatically react on context changes so as to support users in their mobility. Such context awareness relies on models of specific use contexts, embedded in ubiquitous computing environments. However, since most such models are based merely on location and identity parameters, context-aware applications seldom cater for users’ situated knowledge and experience of specific contexts. This is a general user problem in well-known, but yet dynamic, user environments. Drawing on a sequential multimethod study of in-car navigation, this paper explores the role of situated knowledge in designing and using context-aware applications. This focus is motivated by the current lack of empirical investigations of context-aware applications in actual use settings. In-car navigation systems are a type of context-aware application that includes a set of contextual parameters for supporting route guidance in a volatile context. The paper outlines a number of theoretical and practical implications for context-aware application design and use.

Recently, car navigation systems that support safe and comfortable driving have been used widely. This chapter proposes a new car navigation system which enables the provision of the following three services: (1) the route search service including unspecified stopover points, (2) the route search service for traveling through sightseeing spots and considering sightseeing time, and (3) the quick response using dedicated hardware. Moreover, the proposed car navigation system is implemented on a field programmable gate array, and its validity is verified by several evaluative experiments using actual map information.

The typical route planning of on-board car navigation systems (CNS) attempts to find the shortest route without considering users preferences and driving contexts. However it is more effective for a user to find the most preferred route rather than the shortest one. We propose a systems engineering approach for finding the most preferred route by considering and tracking the requirements of CNS route planning from the business point of view. Our approach consists of 4 baselines: customer baseline, system baseline component baseline, and design baseline. The architecture of a route planning engine is suggested according to the baselines.
