Abstract

Road safety is a huge concern due to the large number of fatalities and injuries caused by road accidents. Research has shown that fatigue can adversely affect driving performance and increase risk of road accidents. It has been shown that driving performance is enhanced by stress-relieving music which thereby promotes safer driving. Context-aware music delivery systems promote safer driving through intelligent music recommendations based on contextual knowledge. Two key aspects of situation-aware music delivery are effectiveness and efficiency of music recommendation. Efficiency is a critical aspect in real-time context based music recommendation as the music delivery system should quickly sense any change in the situation and deliver suitable music before the sensed context-data becomes obsolete. We focus on the efficiency of situation-aware music delivery systems in this paper. Music mood-mapping is a process which helps in understanding the mood of a song and is hence used in situation-aware music recommendation systems. This process requires a large processing time due to the complex calculations and large sizes of music files involved. Hence, optimizing this process is the key to improving the efficiency of context-aware music delivery systems. Here, we propose a novel cloud and crowd-sensing based approach to considerably optimize the efficiency of situation-aware music delivery systems.
