Abstract
This paper describes the design of the basic architecture for the Health Monitoring Seat System line-up. The Health Monitoring Seat System is a safety device to prevent traffic accidents caused by health condition. However, the current system can only prevent drowsy driving, and cannot consider individual differences. The purpose of this study is to design the new Health Monitoring Seat System that can consider individual differences, and provide functions that work towards the driver's health condition. To realize this system, we applied the perspective of Timeaxis Design. The Timeaxis Design is a concept incorporating the viewpoint of time into the theory and methodology of design. This design concept enables us to design the system line-up, which includes several development stages: STAGE I (existing technologies), STAGE II (developing technologies), and STAGE III(conceptual technologies). As a result, the basic architecture such as the system's requirement, behavior, and subsystems are proposed to realize the system.
