Road Talk: A Roadside Location-Dependent Audio Message System for Car Drivers

PublisherRinton Press

This paper presents the Road Talk application which is a mobile message system for car drivers. It is designed to allow messaging while driving, for instance, sending notes to surrounding drivers to tell them about hazards. The user annotates the road with audio recordings, typically voice memos. This annotation is location-based, which means that messages are automatically coupled to the location where the audio was recorded. When another driver coincides with this location the audio file is automatically played. In the background, messages are also shared with fellow car drivers. This distribution draws on wireless Mobile Ad hoc NETworking (MANET) and the physical movement of vehicles.
