Abstract

In this article, the development of the maneuver-based vehicle guidance concept Conduct-by-Wire is described. After a brief introduction, the function allocation between driver and vehicle is presented in detail. A promising approach is the separation of decision making and execution. Therefore, while driving with Conduct-by-Wire, the driver passes maneuver commands to the vehicle which are then translated into driving functions. In this article, the development and verification of both, maneuvers and driving functions, are described. The article closes with the development and evaluation of an interaction concept for maneuver inputs and an outlook on future work.

Contribution to this publication was developed during research assistant work at the Institute of Automotive Engineering at the Technische Universität Darmstadt.
