Multi-objective driving assistance system for intersection support

An intersection driving assistance system is developed, which focuses on improvement of traffic efficiency and driving comfort, while maintaining a high level of driving safety. The system can receive traffic light information through wireless communication, and assist the driver with driving support or warning information using received information on time-dependent traffic signal status. The paper describes the system structure, the implemented assistance strategy, which combines three main functions of passing support, violation warning and rear-end collision warning, and the system prototype that has been built. Field experiments show that the proposed assistance system and strategy can ensure a high level of traffic safety, while at the same time improving driving comfort and traffic efficiency at intersections.
