Abstract
A lane detection system for a vehicle includes at least one sensor for sensing lane markers and objects in the vicinity of a host vehicle, a driver interface in the host vehicle, and a controller having control logic. The control logic receives signals from the at least one sensor, determines a present lane of travel based on the sensor signals received, determines that a time that the host vehicle has been in the present lane of travel meets or exceeds a predetermined time, and transmits an alert signal to the driver interface in response to the time meeting or exceeding the predetermined time.
Claims23
A lane detection system for a vehicle comprising:
- means to detect a present lane of travel of a host vehicle;
- means of measuring a time the host vehicle remains in the present lane of travel;
- and
- means for alerting the driver of the host vehicle in response to the time the host vehicle remains in the present lane of travel meeting or exceeding a predetermined period of time.
A lane detection system for a vehicle comprising:
- at least one sensor for sensing lane markers and objects in the vicinity of a host vehicle;
- a driver interface in the host vehicle;
- and
- a controller, the controller having control logic for receiving signals from the at least one sensor, determining a present lane of travel based on sensor signals received, compares a time that the host vehicle has been in the present lane of travel to a predetermined time, and transmitting an alert signal to the driver interface in response to the time meeting or exceeding the predetermined time.
A method of lane detection for a vehicle comprising:
- detecting a present lane of travel of a host vehicle;
- measuring a time the host vehicle has remained in the present lane of travel;
- comparing the time with a predetermined time;
- and
- transmitting an alert signal to the driver of the host vehicle in response to the time meeting or exceeding the predetermined time.
