Design and Implementation of a Vehicle Social Enabler Based on Social Internet of Things

الملخص EN

In recent years, the combination of novel context-aware systems with the Internet of Things (IoT) has received great attention with the advances in network and context-awareness technologies.

Various context-aware consumer electronics based on IoT for intelligent and personalized user-centric services have been introduced.

However, although the paradigm of the IoT has evolved from smart objects into social objects, the existing context-aware systems have not reflected the changes in these paradigms well.

Therefore, this paper proposes a social enabler (S-Enabler) in order to overcome this limitation.

The S-Enabler plays an important role in converting the existing objects into social objects.

This paper presents the middleware architecture and cooperation processes for a social IoT-based smart system.

In this paper, the S-Enabler is designed to be applied to a vehicle and an energy saving service is introduced by using the S-Enabler.

The proposed energy saving service can reduce energy consumption and fuel consumption based on social behaviors such as sharing or competition.

The performance of the S-Enabler is discussed through a simple vehicle service scenario.

The experimental results show that the S-Enabler reduced fuel consumption by up to 31.7%.
