Abstract
A driver assistance system for a vehicle including an autonomous cruise control to autonomously control at least vehicle speed, position data obtaining unit to obtain vehicle position data, ego-vehicle sensor data obtaining unit to obtain ego-vehicle sensor data related to objects in proximity to the vehicle, works data receiving unit to receive works data regarding current roadworks within a predetermined distance of the vehicle, and a processor to determine, based on the ego-vehicle sensor data, the works data, the position data, the vehicle's position and direction of travel relative to one or more roadworks, and when the processor determines the vehicle is approaching one or more roadworks and the vehicle distance to the roadwork is less than a threshold distance, or when the processor determines that the vehicle is already present within a roadwork and the autonomous cruise control is enabled, disable the autonomous cruise control.
