SAFER seminar: Lane departure warning and lane departure prevention
Welcome to the SAFER seminar:
"Lane departure warning and lane departure prevention - comparing safety benefits of warning and intervention systems"

Host: Mathias Lidberg
Abstract
This talk describes a recent study in the US Advanced Collision Avoidance Technologies (ACAT) program. The ACAT-2 study looked at active safety systems for lane change conflicts and unintended lane departure.
Evaluation is based on a Virtual Crash Population obtained by combining data from Field Operational Tests, driving simulator, track testing and crash records, linked together with vehicle and driver models in large-scale batch simulations.
Of particular interest is the comparison between lane departure warning and lane departure prevention systems, the latter using a brake-based intervention to prevent or delay an unintended lane departure. The intervention greatly reduces the influence of driver time delay, and results suggest that safety benefits are approximately doubled when the control intervention is included.
Welcome!
