A Real-time On-board System for Driver Assistance

Abstract We present in this paper an architecture for real-time supervision of a vehicle moving in a dynamic environment. An on-board perception system is used to give information on the dynamic part of the environment and active beacons provide a model of the local static environment. Other sensors are used to provide information on the internal state of the vehicle. From this set of data, the supervision system is able to analyze the current situation and to generate the adequate warnings to the driver according to the circumstances. The framework of this research program was the Eureka Prometheus project which purpose is to improve the road traffic safety. For that, electronic systems are embedded on cars to inform and guide the drivers and globaly, to insure an optimisation of the traffic.
