“…In general, these algorithms try to predict the future state of the involved vehicles in order to estimate the effort needed to avoid an accident [4], [5], [6]. Previously proposed solutions range from rather simple methods, measuring the collision risk in terms of the time to collision (TTC) [7], the predicted minimum distance [8] or the required deceleration [9], to model predictive control [10] and path planning [11], [12]. Among others, [13] proposes a lane change maneuver formulated as an optimization problem with a point mass vehicle model (for fast computation), [14] presents an optimal trajectory generator minimizing the yaw acceleration, while [15], [16] show a collision warning system based on two meaningful indices, i.e., the steering threat number (STN) and braking threat number (BTN).…”
