CARLOG: a platform for flexible and efficient automotive sensing
2014
Automotive apps can improve efficiency, safety, comfort, and longevity of vehicular use. These apps achieve their goals by continuously monitoring sensors in a vehicle, and combining them with information from cloud databases in order to detect events that are used to trigger actions (e.g., alerting a driver, turning on fog lights, screening calls). However, modern vehicles have several hundred sensors that describe the low level dynamics of vehicular subsystems, these sensors can be combined in complex ways together with cloud information. Moreover, these sensor processing algorithms may incur significant costs in acquiring sensor and cloud information. In this paper, we propose a programming framework called CARLOG to simplify the task of programming these event detection algorithms. CARLOG uses Datalog to express sensor processing algorithms, but incorporates novel query optimization methods that can be used to minimize bandwidth usage, energy or latency, without sacrificing correctness of query execution. Experimental results on a prototype show that CARLOG can reduce latency by nearly two orders of magnitude relative to an unoptimized Datalog engine.
