A Driver-Adaptive Driver Assistance System based on Driver Behavior Monitoring and Vehicle Localization - Experiments of a driving simulator and an actual experimental vehicle

摘要

This paper proposes a driver-adaptive driver assistance system aiming at helpful, appropriate and not annoying assistance for any driver and describes some experiments. The analyses of the driver operations of the steering wheel, the brake pedal, the acceleration pedal, and the turn signals monitored with some sensors suggest a possibility of a driver-adaptive driver assistance system. Combination of the direct or indirect driver monitoring system and the car navigation system with a precise map database including the road geometry and the traffic regulations as well as surrounding situation sensing systems will enhance the assistance system, and enable the prediction of the driver maneuver, which enhances the assistance system. The results of experiments of the driver adaptive information support and warring system using a driving simulator and an experimental vehicle illustrate and verify the proposals.
