Abstract
The IN-ARTE system is a Driver Support System that helps the driver in managing longitudinal control tasks through integrated use of front looking radar, digital road maps, and navigation system. Information collected from different sources is combined and then provided to the driver in order to help him/her through visual (icons) and acoustical (voice) messages and, in critical situations, also through automatic intervention on vehicle control. This paper describes the system defined and realised inside the IN-ARTE European project and gives a summary of main results achieved in simulator studies and field tests.
