A hierarchical system architecture for autonomous visual road vehicle guidance is
presented, which consists of four levels: a vehicle level, a 4D-level, a rule-based level, and a …

An advanced control architecture for autonomous vehicles is presented. The hierarchical
architecture consists of four levels: a vehicle level, a control level, a rule-based level and a …

This chapter describes issues relating to vehicle autonomy on highways. First, the needs for
vehicle autonomy are reviewed, and an autonomous vehicle concept to meet those needs is …

An intelligent cruise control system for automatic vehicle guidance on German'autobahnen'is
discussed. Recent developments have focused on the vision system, which has reached a …

This paper discusses an approach to automatic vehicle guidance on a motorway with the
intention of avoiding collisions. The autonomous vehicle should be able to manage the tasks …

This paper describes work focusing on the application of vision-based technology to
autonomous driving. The testbed vehicle, a US Army HMMWV, equipped with a real-time …

Most computer vision systems for vehicle guidance developed in the past were tailored to
the relatively simple highway scenario. Autonomous driving in the much more complex …

We describe the navigation system of our experimental vehicle. In this system the path
planning strategy is organized hierarchically. Each level has its own map and carries out …

The paper discusses the ARGO car which incorporates a system that detects obstacles and
lane markings in real time and autonomously steers the vehicle. It is a passenger car with a …

Proposes a novel concept of an intelligent navigator that can give a driver timely advice on
safe and efficient driving. From both the current traffic conditions obtained from visual data …
