Abstract :
This paper presents the integrated approach for environment perception and vehicle control developed for the CHAUFFEUR Assistant application. Using a combination of radar and video sensor, the sensor fusion approach provides the vehicle controllers with valuable data about preceding vehicles and about the lane. These controllers guide the truck to stay in the lane and keep a short but still safe distance to the preceding vehicle.
