LATERAL SAFE
 LATERAL SAFE is introducing a cluster of safety applications which contribute to the prevention of lateral/rear-related accidents and assist the driver in adverse or low visibility conditions and blind spot areas. The LATERAL SAFE applications will be built on a common multi-sensor platform.
The most significant pre-crash scenario is the typical lane change, constituting more than 38% of all lane crashes.
-
Lateral and rear area monitoring application enhancing the driver’s perception and decreasing the risk of collision in the lateral and rear area of the vehicle
-
Lateral collision warning application that detects and tracks obstacles in the lateral field and warns the driver about an imminent risk of accident
-
Stand-alone lane change assistance system with integrated blind spot detection assisting the driver in lane change manoeuvres when driving on roads with more than one lane per direction
-
The multi-sensor system should cover 270° around the vehicle using an open perception platform and standardised output. A three-layer architecture will enable the modularity of the system (perception, situation analysis & application, action & HMI)
-
The HMI module prioritises application warning/information requests and directs them to the proper actuator/display
Application requirements :
-
Tracking of dynamic targets moving towards the vehicle
-
Knowledge of manoeuvres in the direction of an obstacle and critical lane change manoeuvres
-
Detection of obstacles at close range
-
Detection of vehicles in the blind spot
-
Detection of critical and non-critical objects in the lateral and rear areas

Application of Results
The following main safety functions will be integrated in the demonstration vehicles:
This will extend the operative scenarios of existing systems to all weather conditions and congested urban areas
All applications will be integrated and evaluated in a Fiat Stilo passenger car.
