Nowadays there's an increasing need to guarantee people's mobility at acceptable cost and in safe conditions, and to provide mobility related services according to the user's profile. Safety and comfort, co-operation between vehicle and infrastructure or service centre, configurable human machine interfaces according to user's profile, are key concepts which will characterise the future vehicles. In this context, special care has to be dedicated to elderly people's needs as road users. OASIS Integrated Project comes to fill this by proposing an elderly friendly transportation information system and route guidance, as well as technologies for promoting personal mobility. In this paper emphasis is given to the personal mobility promotion, by developing elderly drivers' real time stress and discomfort assessment algorithms and automatic seat and key vehicle configuration elements.

Abstract
Nowadays there's an increasing need to guarantee people's mobility at acceptable cost and in safe conditions, and to provide mobility related services according to the user's profile. Safety and comfort, co-operation between vehicle and infrastructure or service centre, configurable human machine interfaces according to user's profile, are key concepts which will characterise the future vehicles. In this context, special care has to be dedicated to elderly people's needs as road users. OASIS Integrated Project comes to fill this by proposing an elderly friendly transportation information system and route guidance, as well as technologies for promoting personal mobility. In this paper emphasis is given to the personal mobility promotion, by developing elderly drivers' real time stress and discomfort assessment algorithms and automatic seat and key vehicle configuration elements.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
