Situation Awareness and Early Recognition of Traffic Maneuvers

We outline the challenges of situation awareness with early and accurate recognition of traffic maneuvers and how to assess them. This includes also an overview of the available data and derived situation features, handling of data uncertainties, modelling and the approach for maneuver recognition. An efficient and effective solution, meeting the automotive requirements, is successfully deployed and tested on a prototype car. Test driving results show that earlier recognition of intended maneuver is feasible on average 1 second (and up to 6.72 s) before the actual lane marking crossing. The even earlier maneuver recognition is dependent on the earlier recognition of surrounding vehicles.
