Application of Situational Awareness to Driving: Design of Lane Change Assistant

This paper describes the concept of a situational awareness driver assistance system and the implementation of a lane change assistant based on this situational awareness concept. The lane change assistant design process has been broken in two parts. First, a detailed description of data about drivers’ gap acceptance and a model of gap perception are presented. Second, the process of designing a display by applying the thresholds and rules as deduced in the first section is presented.
