Abstract :
An advanced driver assistance system has been developed, based on a vehicle-to-vehicle communication system. It is able to control the longitudinal movement in a stop-and-go traffic situation and its purpose is to improve traffic safety, traffic flow and driver comfort. A concept architecture has been developed that uses a world-model to make the system highly extendible, like for the extension with lateral control in the future. 3D visualisation software shows a clear picture of the current perceived state of the world. Tests with three vehicles have proven the potential of such a system. Later tests with partners in the project showed that it can interact with third-party systems, based on the same communication protocol.
