Cognitive-based Supervision and Assistance

This contribution deals with the implementation of an automated cognitive-based supervision concept applied for the first time on a real vehicle. Here, the Situation-Operator-Modeling (SOM) approach is used as a representational concept to model and formalize the logic of interaction between driver, vehicle, and environment based on sensor and video measurements. The programmed implementation of Driver-Vehicle-Interaction (DVI) model is realized by a JavaApplication, which can be connected with the ViewCar©, an experimental vehicle developed by DLR which is equipped with specialized sensors and cameras. Prefilters are designed and integrated to interpret and transform the scenes into situations and operators. As an output, the interpreted situation and all allowed actions performed by the driver are displayed on a user interface. Furthermore, the application has been tested with a replay mode as well as the ViewCar© itself.
