IMAGinE is paving the way for cooperative driving.

Communication-based coordination of driving maneuvers enables substantial improvement for preventive support of accident-free driving optimization of traffic flow and thus to arrive in a more safe, efficient andcomfortable manner.

Without cooperationWith cooperation

MotivationAutomation: requires increased cooperation

Why cooperative behavior will be relevant also in an automated world: • Increasing degrees of automation aim at higher comfort and safety levels for the

driver• Automated systems tend to behave more defensively than the average driver• In certain situations, automated systems depend on cooperative behavior of other

road users
