Racecar drivers have the ability to operate a vehicle at its friction limit without losing control.
If autonomous vehicles or driver assistance systems had similar capabilities, many fatal …

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 …

Efficient knowledge representation is a prerequisite for autonomous land vehicles in order to
react in real-time in a variety of complex situations. In this paper, the knowledge …

Automated driving holds the promise of improving traffic safety, alleviating highway
congestion and saving fuel. The continuous increase in processor speed over the last …

To meet the demands of driving in complex environments, the perception subsystem of an
intelligent vehicle must be able to extract the information needed for behaviors from the input …

The research presented in this thesis examines the area of control systems for robots or
animats (animal-like robots). Existing systems have problems in that they require a great …

A functional system architecture for semi-autonomous land vehicles is presented supporting
flexible automation of driving functions. The system architecture incorporates different levels …
