Abstract

In this paper, the authors propose a cooperative driver assistance system for elderly drivers. The proposed system involves the assisted vehicle, referred to as the guest vehicle, and the assisting vehicle, known as the host or escort vehicle. Using vehicle to vehicle communications, the host vehicle, typically driven by an experienced driver, assists the the guest vehicle, which is usually driven by an elderly driver. The paper discusses the characteristics of elderly drivers, the concepts of assistance and the cooperative driver assistance, as well as the experiments and their evaluations.
