Abstract

Driving is often a highly complex task because of the growing traffic density. Car manufacturers and equipment suppliers propose more and more driving assistance systems in order to keep safety at the highest possible level. Some of these assistance systems deal with longitudinal aspects of the driving task such as Anti Blockier System (ABS), Braking Assistance System (BAS), or Adaptative Cruise Control (ACC), but few deal with lateral aspects. However, systems dedicated to the prevention of hazardous lane changes should significantly improve road safety. This work focuses on this issue and aims, in a first step, at a better knowledge of driving behaviors during overtaking situations.
