Multi-level cooperation between the driver and an automated driving system during lane change maneuver

This article presents an automated driving system that ensures cooperation with the driver. The system architecture is structured in hierarchical levels to allow suitable interaction with the driver on multiple driving levels. A multi-level cooperative interaction concept is developed to continuously share control and dynamically manage interferences and decision authority between the driver and the system according to the situation. The system extends the lane keeping function with an active lane change assistance function. The necessary components for the multi-level cooperation concept are presented and experimental results show a good and intuitive interaction for active lane change assistance.
