Study on lane departure warning and lane change assistant systems

Abstract

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) System monitor the position of the vehicle with respect to the lane boundary.When the vehicle is danger of leaving the lane unintentiionally,the system delivers a warning to the driver.Lane Change Assistant (LCA) System monitor the adjacent lanes assist drivers when changing lane.If the driver of the vehiicle fitted with LCA system initiates a lane change manoeure and systems detects a vehicle in the adjacent lane,the system alert the driver to the presence of other vehicle. The objective of this reseach was to gather and evalute information regarding the performance standards of LDW and LCA systems and the likely cost and benefits of meeting thses standards with respect to: Light vehicles (e.g. categories N2 and N3) Heavy goods vehicles (HGV) (e.g. categories N2 and N3) Large passenger vehicles (LPV) (e.g. categories M2 and M3)
