Automated driver assistance via intelligent context-aware vehicles
How to give personalised and intelligent assistance to drivers through context-aware vehicles? To answer this question, the team headed by Prof. Alcherio Martinoli has developed Webots, a realistic simulation tool for intelligent context-aware vehicles.
Using both an embedded intelligent sensory system and communication with other vehicles, this system detects and corrects lane trajectories and keeps safe distances without needing the driver's intervention, achieving significant gains in safety levels and overall traffic fluidity and contributing substantially to an increase in efficiency in driver's assistance systems.
