Lane Departure Warning Systems

There have been many technological advances in the trucking industry when it comes to the safety of the drivers and collision prevention. One of the new products that are available currently is a lane departure warning system.

These systems are designed to detect when the truck is getting out of the lane that it is currently in. This is done with the hope of minimizing collisions due to unwanted lane change. These systems are forward looking vision based systems that use an algorithm to interpret video images to determine the vehicles lateral position, velocity, and roadway alignment.
