Increasing traffic on highways leads to more dangerous situations during lane changes. We propose a system which helps the driver avoiding some of these critical situations. The Highway Lane Change Assistant monitors the area behind and beside the own vehicle by vision and radar sensors. If a dangerous object is detected in the neighbouring lane, a warning is issued on a lane change. The system was tested by different drivers in different vehicles on German highways and showed reasonable, accepted warnings.
