ULM Demonstrator

This demonstrator is developed by ULM and is focused on the following scenario:

Initial state: Peter hands over the control to the TeamMate. During the fully automated drive, the TeamMate constantly monitors the route for risks and situations, in which input or a take-over becomes necessary. Peter starts reading and thus is fully out of the loop.

Scenario Evolvement: The TeamMate receives information by V2V about a slowly driving tractor 3 km ahead, which it cannot overtake safely on its own. Via the Teammate HMI the system starts an escalating strategy to bring Peter back in the loop. The TeamMate offers him different options how to deal with the occurring situation: (A) slowly drive behind tractor, (B) tell when to initiate an overtaking manoeuvre, (C) overtake manually.

 Scenario Resolution: Pater selects option B. Thus, the TeamMate approaches the tractor and opens a dialog. Peter carefully checks the traffic and selects the right situation for the manoeuvre and communicates this to the TeamMate. After double-checking with its sensors the system starts the overtaking manoeuvre while constantly controlling safety margins.
