AutoVue Lane Departure Warning System

Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems (Bendix CVS) LLC has added the AutoVue Lane Departure Warning (LDW) System to its portfolio of commercial vehicle safety technologies.

• Vision-based system that links a camera with a 60-degree field of view to an onboard computer
• Uses image recognition software to track visible lane markings
• Continually monitors a vehicle’s position and detects when it begins to drift toward an unintended lane change
• Emits distinctive “rumble strip” or other audible warning to alert driver to make a correction when unintential lane change detected
• Effective day and night, and in most weather conditions where lane markings are visible – even in low-visibility situations such as fog or rain
• Recognizes both solid and dashed shoulder lines, centerlines and lines between lanes, even if they are heavily faded
• When operating on snow-covered roadways, system senses it can't see lines, goes into a disabled state, and notifies driver by lighting up orange reduced-function light
• Optimized to nearly eliminate false alarms by sensing activated turn signal for planned lane changes and disabling warnings when speed is less than 37 mph
• Alert sounds when vehicle drifts in opposite direction of activated turn signal
