Handbook Assisted and Automated Driving

This open access book explains in detail systems and technologies for assisted and automated driving. It also provides an overview of the limitations of such systems concerning development processes and test tools. This description covers today's advanced driver assistance systems with environment perception in passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and motorcycles. This includes functional principles as well as embodiments of the components required for this purpose, such as sensors, actuators, mechatronic subsystems, and actuating elements. Additionally, data fusion concepts, environment representations, and user-friendly designs of the human-machine interface between the assistance system and driver are presented.
New priorities are also presented concerning the development of automated driving. Although automated driving is based on the technology of advanced driver assistance systems, removing humans from the responsibility of driving induces entirely new challenges that also go beyond series technology. The variety of necessary innovative approaches is presented in example applications.
