What is a Lane Departure Warning System?
1 Answers
Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) is an auxiliary system that helps reduce traffic accidents caused by lane departure by alerting the driver. Related details are as follows: 1. The Lane Departure Warning System consists of an image processing chip, controller, sensors, etc. According to statistics from the Ministry of Transport, approximately 50% of car accidents are caused by vehicles deviating from their normal driving lanes, primarily due to driver distraction, lack of concentration, or fatigue. 2. When the lane departure system is activated, the camera continuously captures the lane markings, processes the images to obtain the vehicle's position parameters within the current lane. If the system detects a lane departure, the sensors promptly collect vehicle data and the driver's operational status, after which the controller issues an alarm signal. The entire process takes about 0.5 seconds, providing the driver with more reaction time. However, if the driver activates the turn signal for normal lane changing, the Lane Departure Warning System will not issue any alerts. 3. The Lane Departure Warning Systems equipped by various manufacturers are all developed based on visual data collection. However, in rainy, snowy, or low-visibility road conditions, the accuracy of detecting lane markings decreases.
