QUALITY INDEX AND REAL-TIME FORWARD PROPAGATION OF VIRTUAL CONTROLS FOR THE INTELLIGENT ACTIVATION OF AUTOMATED DRIVING

摘要

A system for activating an automated driving control of a motor vehicle contains a quality index of an automated driving control system before the activation of an automated driving control function of a motor vehicle. An adaptive forward propagation horizon and a prediction horizon for evaluating the quality index are calculated. Vehicle conditions and road geometry are propagated over the adaptive forward propagation horizon, and the quality index is evaluated based on forward propagated conditions over the prediction horizon. A first signal allows the automated driving control function of the motor vehicle to be activated and a second signal excludes the activation of the automated driving control function. One of the first signal or the second signal is selected based on the results of evaluating a quality control index trajectory over the adaptive forward propagation horizon.
