Abstract

Driving context, including oncoming and approaching vehicles, traffic signs, road conditions and legal traffic law, has major influence on the recommended behavior of a driver. For a driver assistance system these legal and environmental constraints must be available to produce useful behavior recommendations. Using a contextaware overtaking assistant as demonstrational, conceptual reasoning component we present an approach for representation of legal and environmental context rules, exploiting constraint-logic programming, where spatio-temporal influence factors are modeled as dynamic constraints. A-priory fuzzy risk-classification is done to point out potential risks. The probability of an accident is then obtained for the recommended maneuver, using information from the driver context.
