Abstract

In the Traffic Technologies field, a great variety of information systems or other types of applications are already available, while many new systems for driver assistance are being designed. Traffic information and management, user guidance, navigation systems, autonomous / intelligent cruise control, for example, or more complex systems, which are monitoring the driver or take over driver tasks in hazardous situations, has now entered a decisive development phase.
