Abstract
During the SPARC project a new architecture will be integrated into a truck to provide a new platform for a predictive curve warning control. This platform uses this control as a virtual co-pilot. Like a real driver, it will have the capacity to perceive its environment with several sensors and to model driving scenarios. A decision control checks the driver’s wish with this scenario and sends a feedback to the driver in order to improve his/her driving, and reacts only if these do not correspond to each other. The curve warning control uses a telematic system and a camera to model the road ahead of the vehicle. The radius of the curve will be extrapolated in order to determine the maximum admissible speed at each point ahead. The speed and the radius are related due to the centrifugal force. Then a preventive deceleration strategy will be set in order to always remain below the maximum safe speed in the lane.
