Abstract

This paper addresses two challenges for successful implementations of driver assistance systems for providing intersection collision avoidance based on Vehicle-to-Vehicle communication. Firstly, satellite based positioning typically comes along with varying precision, which has to be considered by the warning function. Secondly, a distinction has to be made between critical and safe driver behavior. An ideal warning function for the use in critical driver behavior is one which warns the accident perpetrator early enough so that the driver can defuse the situation on his own, and which remains silent during normal safe driving behavior. The following article develops such a warning algorithm and verifies it using data obtained in a field test. The validation considers to what extent parameterization of the algorithm can resolve the conflict mentioned above between the two goals of a low false-positive warning rate and high capability for accidence avoidance.
