Abstract
Due to its inherent advantages, goods transports on the road are indispensable. The permanently increasing competitive and legal requirements demand the exploitation of all technological possibilities. The high standard of commercial vehicle technology now attained, means, that new ways must be found of utilizing the remaining scope for further progress, e.g., by increased application of intelligent vehicle systems. This contribution describes such electronic systems for commercial vehicles. These systems will assist and relieve stress from the driver. The possibilities of electronic intelligence will lead to an outstanding increase of active safety and transport efficiency of future vehicle generations.
