INTELLIGENT DRIVER SUPPORT

Increasing road traffic has lead to a large increase in accidents and congestion throughout the world. Traditionally, congestion problems have been alleviated by building more roads. This option, however, is now severely constrained due to lack of lane, environmental concerns, and the high cost of road construction. The intelligent driver support system, developed at Lucas, consists of a number of automatic systems, on a Jaguar car, that allow intelligent cruise control, collision avoidance, and lane support. These systems offer the driver greater safety and comfort, and if used widely, could drastically improve the efficiency of the existing road network. This paper describes the technology and shows results from the car's use on public motorways.
