A velocity and distance regulation approach is presented that
depends on the position as well as the velocity of the followed
car. Radar sensors provide reliable information on straight lanes,
but fail in curves due to their restricted field of view. On the
other hand, Lidar sensors are able to cover the regions of
interest in almost all situations, but do not provide precise speed
information. We combine the advantages of both sensors with
a sensor fusion approach in order to provide permanent and
precise spatial and dynamical data.
Our results in highway experiments with real traffic will be
described in detail.
