This contribution provides a survey of recent developments in the area of vehicle control and supervision at the Institute of Automatic Control at the Darmstadt University of Technology, Germany. As an example from the area of vehicle control, the adaptive cruise control system (ACC) presented here supports the driver during highway traffic, including comfort as well as safety features. Keeping to a constant speed specified by the driver on open roads, the system decelerates the controlled car automatically if a slower preceding vehicle is detected. If the preceding vehicle disappears, the car accelerates again until it reaches the specified speed. The area of vehicle supervision is represented by a concept that detects sensor faults as well as a vehicle's swerving motion. Featuring lateral motion, the presented supervision technique can only act as one part of a complex car-management system, implemented in autonomous intelligent vehicles of the future. Therefore, the combination of supervision and fault-detection methods with the implementation of lateral and longitudinal control algorithms (like ACC), in order to improve driving comfort and active car safety, is one of the challenges for the coming years.
