Handbook of Driver Assistance Systems

Abstract

With increasing technical possibilities in the area of assistance and automation, diverse challenges, risks, and chances arise in the design of assisted, partially and fully automated driving. One of the greatest challenges consists of integrating and offering a multitude of complex technical functions in such a way that the human driver intuitively understands them as a cohesive, cooperative system. A solution to this problem can be found in the H-Mode. It is inspired by the role model of horse and rider and offers an integrated haptic-multimodal user interface for all kinds of movement control. The H-Mode, as presented in this chapter, has been designed for ground vehicles and includes several comfort and security systems on three assistance and automation levels, which can be interchanged fluidly.
