Future driver assistance systems such as predictive collision avoidance or situation-aware adaptive cruise control require a more complete and accurate situation awareness in order to detect hazardous and inefficient situations in time. Therefore, we introduce multi-target tracking including vehicle-2-vehicle communications as a complementing sensor for future driver assistance systems. The paper presents first simulation results of our algorithm which show promising outcomes.}, keywords={V2V communications;automotive multisensor multitarget tracking;automotive sensor systems;driver assistance systems;invehicle based target tracking;predictive collision avoidance;situation-aware adaptive cruise control;vehicle-2-vehicle communications;mobile radio;road vehicles;sensor fusion;target tracking;}, doi={10.1109/VETECF.2008.440}, ISSN={1090-3038}, }
