Abstract

A driver assistance system, which supports drivers by using a special strategy taking the road geometry in front of the vehicle into account, was developed and realized at the University of Siegen. Here, the velocity is exclusively controlled depending on road parameters. So, in front of a bend, the speed will be reduced in time. Behind the bend, the car can be accelerated again. Here, it is described, how a new driver assistant, which warns the driver when the speed of the vehicle is too high in front of a bend, is realized.
