Abstract :
The integrated project PReVENT takes a first comprehensive step towards realising the vision of a safety zone around vehicles by means of complementary safety functions. The foundation for requirements are laid in the analysis of driver behaviour and accidents, followed by a definition of functions needed from a vehicle to prevent the accident from happening or mitigating its consequences. As a result, the most critical accident scenarios are covered by the applications developed. Furthermore, a requirements database is created and requirements are classified into six main categories. A common PReVENT architecture is presented and highlighted by a sub-project focusing on lateral safety applications. Finally, the approach to further integrate individual preventive safety functions on a common platform is outlined.

Abtract :
Digital maps have large potential to enhance or enable Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) by extending driver horizon and therefore to contribute to
safer, smarter and cleaner road transport. As a predictive sensor called ADAS Horizon, in-vehicle digital maps are an important source of information providing
look-ahead capability for ADAS applications and providing further information for on-board sensors to enhance environment perception.
This paper reports on results from the European Commission project MAPS&ADAS, part of PReVENT Integrated Project, dedicated to the development, test and validation of a standardized interface (ADAS Interface) between ADAS applications and ADAS map data sources for accessing map data regarding vehicle position.
