Abstract

Automate driving is enhancing the driving performance and reducing the crash risks. The presentation illustrates a new method for the management of the traffic flow on highways, based on the constant time to collision criterion. This criterion is addressing the car fallowing issue and it offers a speed adapted planner for the distance gap between cars. This method is able also to support a highway traffic flow management. The interface’s decision block is implemented by a fuzzy interpolative controller that is estimating the collision risk, taking into account the traffic intensity.
