Title:
SYSTEM FOR INFERRING DRIVER'S LANE CHANGE INTENTION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/158307
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a system for inferring a driver's lane change intention. The driver's lane change intention can be inferred by calculating motivators and inhibitors determined on the basis of a traffic situation including, for example, the speeds of vehicles traveling ahead and traveling on an adjacent lane with respect to the speed of a vehicle, which are detected especially by sensors for the vehicle and other vehicles, such as an electromagnetic wave, optical, or acoustic radar and the like. The criteria of these motivators and inhibitors can be determined experimentally or statistically. Since the motivators and inhibitors are detected before the driver actually starts a lane changing action, the inference can be used in real time in an alarm device and an acceleration and deceleration assistance system.
