The CARSENSE programme, grouping together 12 major industrial and research partners and sponsored by the EC, is to develop a sensor system; the purpose of which is to provide sufficient information on the car environment at low speeds to assist in low speed driving in complex (urban) environments. This article describes the main objectives of the programme, these being the improvement of the individual sensors and the merger of the information from these sensors in a fusion unit. The ADASE project identified that driver assistance at low speed is the next most feasible function after the introduction of ACC. However, this functionality requires two of the fundamental steps towards future ADAS: reliable information about stationary objects and a wider field of view, albeit only in the near range. Based on these agreed scenarios, chosen to cover a large spectrum of low speed real-life situations, data from various sensors will be acquired simultaneously and recorded along with additional driving sequence description scripts. The scripts provide the partners with the means for calibrating their sensors and for testing their algorithms. LCPC (LIVIC department) will use it's own test tracks to achieve this task. At the end of the project, a second set of tests will permit a study of the performance of each newly designed sensor. These will also help assess the benefits of sensor fusion and allow an evaluation of the detection performance of the entire system, and its capacity for coping with low speed driving situations.
