1 Introduction The term Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) describes systems in a vehicle that support the drivers in their driving task. Donges shows in [Don99] that the driving task itself can be divided into the three levels ˆ navigation, ˆ guidance and ˆ stabilization. For each driving task, special ADAS are available to support the driver. For example, a Navigation System (NS) supports the driver on the level of navigation, an Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) on the level of guidance, and the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) on the level of stabilization. Chapter 2 describes these three levels in more detail, and appendix A provides additional descriptions of available ADAS. Driver support can be accomplished via ˆ optical, acoustical or haptic warnings and/or ˆ driver-initiated or automatic interventions of the ADAS. A Lane-Departure Warning (LDW) is a warning system that informs drivers that they areaboutto leavethe laneunintentionally. Incontrast, aLane-Keeping Assistant (LKA) helps drivers hold the vehicle in its lane by applying interventions on the vehicle. Another way to categorize ADAS is to distinguish between ˆ comfort-oriented and ˆ safety-oriented systems.
