Lane Departure Warning Calibration
Lane departure warning is vital for increasing safety on the road as well as making driving an easier and less stressful experience.
As with many advanced driver assistance systems, regular ADAS calibrations are important for maintaining safety on the road by protecting against wrongful interventions or warnings.
What is lane departure warning?
Lane departure warning (LDW) is a component of ADAS which uses cameras and sensors together to detect, and subsequently alert drivers, when a vehicle is unintentionally drifting out of the intended lane.
The warning usually comes in the form of beeps, warning lights, or even steering wheel vibrations. It’s important to understand that lane departure warning is not exactly the same as ‘lane assist,’ which can automatically take over to amend accidental lane departures.How do lane departure warning systems work?
Typically, lane departure warning systems use very finely-calibrated forward-facing cameras and sensors to detect lane markings on the road.
If the software within the systems detects that you are unintentionally drifting out of the intended lane, the system will automatically issue a warning, alerting the driver to the movement and allowing them to amend.
Is ADAS calibration important for lane departure warning?
ADAS calibration is absolutely vital for lane departure warning. Without it, it’s possible that the system incorrectly flags a lane departure, which can be frustrating and even distracting to the driver.
ADAS calibration involves precisely adjusting cameras and sensors to ensure they are constantly taking correct and accurate readings in real-time, preventing errors. It also involves rigorous testing to maintain one final time that your systems are working properly.
What is the symbol for lane departure warning?
To effectively utilise your lane departure warning system, you need to be able to recognise the symbol. Thankfully, the lane departure warning symbol is simple to notice, as it is usually a car with lines on either side to represent lane markings.
It changes colour to indicate the system status. Green indicates that the system is alert and ready to provide warnings, amber or yellow indicates that your vehicle is drifting towards a lane marking, and red indicates that your vehicle is too close to the marking, and you should take urgent action.
