Lane departure warning system
System which detects the unintended crossing of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the ground, using a camera that recognises both solid and broken lines.
To
improve your safety, the camera analyses the image and then triggers a warning if the vehicle wanders over a lane marking (speed higher than
3
0 mph (50 km/h)).
This
system is particularly suitable for motor ways and dual carriageways.
The
lane departure warning system
c
annot in any circumstances replace
t
he need for vigilance on the part of the
d
river.
It
is necessary to observe driving
r
egulations and take a break every
two
hours.
