Handbook of Driver Assistance Systems

Hermann Winner began working at Robert Bosch GmbH in 1987, after receiving his Ph.D. in physics, focusing on the predevelopment of by-wire technology and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). Beginning in 1995, he led the series development of ACC up to the start of production. Since 2002, he has been pursuing the research of driver assistance systems engineering topics as professor of Automotive Engineering at the Technische Universität Darmstadt.  After finishing his studies in physics, Stephan Hakuli developed driving functions for highly automated vehicles as a research associate at the Institute of Automotive Engineering (FZD) at the Technische Universität Darmstadt. Today, he works as product manager and subject specialist for driver assistance systems at IPG Automotive GmbH. Felix Lotz studied Mechanical Engineering at Technische Universität Darmstadt. He now works as a scientific assistant at the Institute of Automotive Engineering of Technische Universität Darmstadt and focuses on research in the fields of system architectures and behavior planning of automated vehicles.  Christina Singer studied Mechanical Engineering at Fachhochschule Südwestfalen, Technische Universität Darmstadt, and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Since 2011, she has been working as scientific assistant at the Institute of Automotive Engineering at Technische Universität Darmstadt, where her research is focused on effort-reduced application and release concepts for brakesystem controllers.
