Integrated vehicle’s lateral safety: the LATERAL SAFE experience
article
The applications developed and the evaluation results of the EU funded automotive safety PReVENT IP
subproject LATERAL SAFE are described. The data synthesis algorithms that aim at achieving a reliable
representation of the objects and their kinematics, in the lateral and rear fields of the host vehicle are first
presented. The fusion architecture implemented is a distributed sensor-level fusion system that processes
centrally the tracks of four independent tracking systems: a rear-looking long-range radar, two lateral shortrange
radar networks and a lateral-rear synthesised image processing unit. Then the functionalities of the
three applications of the project are briefly described including lane change aid, lateral collision warning and
lateral and rear area monitoring. The paper ends with a short overview of the technical evaluation results
and the conclusions drawn after the end of the project.
