Improvement of the driving safety using a virtual driver

This paper introduces a new concept for advanced driver assistance by means of a defined architecture including all system components redundant from the environment perception to the vehicle controllers. The first part analyzes the bottleneck of the current association driver with vehicle. After that a virtual driver, which computes the safety envelope of the motion vector of the vehicle, would be described. The driver´s command would be monitored depending on the output of this virtual driver to give a feedback to the driver or to take the control of the vehicle. In the next part a concept of exchange of information to enhance the cognition of the vehicle and of the driver would be explained. At the end this paper would conclude towards future works and research issues.
