VLA Traffic and transport continue to be the key economic factors. According to a study performed by the official German Automobile Club (ADAC), traffic jams at German 'Autobahns' are mostly attributable to accidents (33%), road construction (31 ...
GermanyVEU Securing the mobility of people and goods and at the same time preserving a healthy environment and natural resources is one of the main challenges our societies face. The DLR internal project “Transport and the Environment” (VEU) aims to analyze the ...
GermanyThe transport sector is one of the main causes of greenhouse gas emissions. In Germany, the transport sector caused an amount of 192 million tons of CO2 emissions in 2010. About 85% of it was contributed by road transport. Accordingly, the transport secto ...
GermanyFUE Driver assistance systems can only support the driver intelligently if the system has access to adequate information concerning the vehicle and the road, and particularly concerning objects and obstacles in the vehicle environment. The use of differen ...
GermanyFVM Driver assistance systems offer a considerable potential for improving driving safety and comfort. In designing systems to realise this potential successfully, several important issues concerning the human-machine interaction arise and need to be cons ...
GermanySTA Adaptive cruise control (ACC) systems regulating headway and speed for freeway and rural highway driving are just entering the market in the latest vehicle series. In the future, it is also desirable to utilize the advantages of this technology under ...
GermanyVAS About 85 percent of all traffic accidents are attributable to driver distraction, fatigue, and perceptual errors. A large proportion of these accidents could be avoided or at least reduced in severity by active safety systems. In particular, assistanc ...
GermanyVESUV A computer-assisted image recognition of a warning system in a vehicle has to react potentially much faster than a human being. Hence, there are clear consequences for the nature of the selection of concepts and procedures deployed for problem resol ...
