in this paper a robust road departure avoidance system based on a closed-loop driver decision estimator (dde) is presented. the main idea is that of incorporating the driver intent in the control of the vehicle. the driver decision estimator computes the vehicle look ahead lateral position based on the driver input and uses this position to establish the risk of road departure. to induce a risk...
