The narrow road assistant - Next generation advanced driver assistance in inner-city

With the availability of novel sensor technologies, as e.g. stereo vision, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) for highly complex urban scenarios get increasingly into focus. In this contribution, with the “narrow road assistant” an inner-city ADAS is presented that supports the driver in safely passing narrow road passages based on offering early scenario-specific information and automated steering support. The focus of the contribution will be on system design aspects and first concepts for scene analysis that aim at recognizing and considering the driver intention. The named ADAS is realized in the context of the publicly-funded project UR:BAN, which started in 2012.
