This lecture covers active vehicle safety and driver assistance systems.
Starting with the driver in the control loop driver-vehicle-environment, the vehicle control is derived and the interaction between driver and vehicle is described. Driver assistance systems are introduced and classified.
The active safety consists of the focus points perception safety, operation safety, condition safety and driving safety. Apart from driver assistance systems and its components at the guidance level, driving dynamics systems operating at stabilization level in longitudinal, lateral and vertical direction are presented.
Furthermore, pre- and post-crash-systems are discussed as a combination of passive and active safety.
A look into current research topics is provided by the introduction into automated vehicle control. Further a look into different issues regarding automated driving is taken.
In addition to these system considerations, a look is taken at the requirements regarding functional safety and the development process of active safety and driver assistance systems.
