− Check existing documentation
and decide what concepts are
important
- e. g. specific driving assistant
systems with parts and functions
− Level of automation:
• Level 1 ("hands on"), Level 2 ("hands
off"), Level 3 (“eyes off”), Level 4
(“mind off”), Level 5 (“steering
wheel optional)
− Level 1: adaptive cruise control,
lane keeping assistant
− Level 2: lane change assistant
− Level 3: parking assistant
− …

− Cope with increased effort at the beginning
of the project
− Find all the information you need for the
creation of a concept map
− Keep focus while building the map
− Classification of concepts e. g. level of automation
− Users easily find the right term, e. g. for a specific
driving assistant
− Parts of a system are described with unified terms,
e. g. surround view camera vs. 360-degree camera
− Less terminological errors, e. g. the use of
”ultrasound sensor“ instead of “ultrasonic sensor“
