Vehicle Modelling Aspects for an Embedded Real-Time Application

SUMMARY In this paper we present results obtained for a driving advice system developed, within the framework of the Prometheus program. The main results concern the vehicle modelling, which is required for the evaluation of the vehicle's dynamic behaviour in real-time, and the safety parameters considered and developed in order to evaluate the vehicle's safety state. The demonstrator is briefly presented, together with the results.
