LATERAL SAFE introduces a cluster of safety applications of the future vehicles in order to prevent lateral/rear related accidents and assist the driver in adverse or low visibility conditions and blind spot areas. LATERAL SAFE applications are being built in a common multi-sensor platform and include a lateral and rear monitoring system, a lane change assistant and a lateral collision warning, extending the operative scenarios of existing systems to all weather conditions and congested urban areas. Moreover LATERAL SAFE offers also a common multi-sensor platform suitable for integrating the results of other functions in a later stage. Its results are evaluated and demonstrated in a city car equipped with all LATERAL SAFE applications, a luxury car equipped with a lane change assistant and a truck tested in a driving simulator. LATERAL SAFE is with the PREVENT Integrated Project co-funded by the European Commission under the 6th Framework Program (A). For the covering abstract of the conference see ITRD E212343.
