An Assistance System for Diagnosis and Monitoring of Driving Manoeuvres

This paper describes an assistance system for the human driver in traffic situations. The works presented here are currently developed within the Pro-Lab II demonstrator. The global architecture of the demonstrator is structured in three main functions: perception, decision and information. The perception module supplies data about the vehicle and its surroundings. The decision module is intended to analyze the current situation. It can evaluate the manoeuvre possibility, monitor the manoeuvre execution, generate warnings in dangerous situations and suggest possible manoeuvres in more sophisticated assistance. Decisions are provided to the human driver by the information module. This paper presents the decision capabilities of the Pro-Lab II demonstrator. 1 Introduction The Pro-Lab II demonstrator concerns the development and the integration in a car of an electronic co-pilot which purpose is to assist the human driver in traffic situations. This demonstrator integrates the works of n..
