Abstract
The electronic horizon (eHorizon) is an emerging technology supporting advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) with respect to fuel efficiency and road safety. Using the static road attributes provided by the eHorizon, new kinds of ADAS applications become possible. Considering the factor that the traffic dynamics, especially in intersection areas, has also a significant impact to the fuel consumption and traffic efficiency, this paper is devoted to the extension of the current products of eHorizon with traffic light information. It introduces a concept for the presentation of the traffic light information in accordance to the ADASIS v2 specification, so that today’s subscribers of eHorizon, i.e. the ECUs with ADAS applications, can use the dynamic data with only minimal modification.
