Contrasts are drawn between the two main areas of driver<br>assistance systems — on the one hand information systems which interact with the driver<br>and on the other hand intervening systems which interact directly with the vehicle.<br>Navigation systems are typical of the former category and adaptive cruise control of the<br>latter. It is argued that, for information systems it is possible to develop a “generic” safety<br>assessment procedure, with a single generic test. A contrast is drawn with In the area of<br>intervening systems (driver warning and vehicle control systems), where no such generic<br>evaluation by means of a single test is possible. Such systems differ widely in their purpose,<br>in their intended operating environment, in their functionality and in their operating<br>envelope. The authors propose a structured procedural approach for the safety assessment<br>of intervening systems.</p> ER -
