Other Video: INTERSAFE BMW Driving simulator for intersection safety

Accidents at intersections happen when drivers perform inappropriate manoeuvres, fail to anticipate other drivers’ actions, or miss road signs or signals. The development of advanced sensor systems and algorithms can provide accurate localisation of the driver’s vehicle and path prediction of other road users. Combining this with signal status communication, it will be possible to warn the driver of potentially hazardous situations.
- Development and testing of an intersection driver warning function on a demonstrator vehicle, based on precise relative vehicle localisation, path prediction of other objects and communication with traffic lights
- Development of an advanced intersection safety system, using a dynamic simulator environment for assessing future active safety applications and sensor system requirements
INTERSAFE is exploring the accident prevention and mitigation potential of an integrated preventive safety system for intersections through two parallel approaches:
Bottom-up
Integration of state-of-the-art sensors and infrastructure
communication within a demonstrator vehicle to explore
what driver assistance applications
may be possible in the short term.

Application of Results
INTERSAFE will contribute to intersection safety by:
- precise localisation using on-board sensors

- detection, classification and path prediction of all other objects at the intersection
- communication with traffic lights - high-level map information
