Introduction of a full redundant architecture into a vehicle by integration of a virtual driver

Concepts like Dickmanns et. al. show that automation can be sophisticated enough to drive fully autonomously in certain environments. The concept described here uses automation to introduce a virtual driver redundant to, but not excluding, the human driver. The first part of this paper is an overvie...

Description
Summary:Concepts like Dickmanns et. al. show that automation can be sophisticated enough to drive fully autonomously in certain environments. The concept described here uses automation to introduce a virtual driver redundant to, but not excluding, the human driver. The first part of this paper is an overview of the project framework based on a model of the driver cognition. After that, the requirements for the engineering of a virtual driver are described into more details. An adaptive cooperation and its use to optimize the driver's command depending on his fitness and the confidence of the virtual driver is explained one section after. The final part shows the inherent problem of conflicts due to the introduction of this kind of technology
