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.
