Detection of maneuvers using evidence theory

The early detection of maneuvers performed by the driver is one of the most important tasks of a driver assistance system for accurately perceiving the road situation and thus warning the driver in time or intervening in the vehicle control to avoid the danger. By recognizing relationships between entities of the road environment the system can react with more efficiency to the current situation. This paper focuses on the investigation of methods regarding the identification of the maneuvering type not only for the host vehicle but also for the detected objects which are moving in the surrounding environment using the theory of evidence.
