Integration of driver assistant systems as a virtual driver

Current assistant systems like ESP optimize the driver´s command by realizing a transition between the command and the optimum as soon at it goes out of a safety range and does it later back when the driver´s command is no more dangerous. The next generation of assistant systems will not only be reactive but also predictive. They will still work on the same principle but with a wider environment of the vehicle. Their actions will follow the same three steps: computation of the optimum of the maneuver, waiting passively until the very last moment, then generating the transitions. This article describes first the fusion of the assistant systems as a virtual driver, then a decision control that can realize this optimization depending on its confidence in order to improve the reliability of the command level
