Modern technologies Autonomous and semi-autonomous car control interfaces are preparing to conquer the attention and wallets of potential buyers, but so far most of the successful implementation of such ideas into reality is only at the stage of preparation and is not affordable for the average man in the street. However, the market can already offer successful examples of the use of technologies that provide additional driving comfort. Not so long ago, we published a detailed article about. Now it's time to talk about another popular technology, namely the lane control system. What is a lane control system? Why is she needed? And most importantly: is it worth thinking about buying a car with a system of this type?
What is LDWS
Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)- This is a technology that warns that an imminent departure from the lane of the car is possible. The technology is applied in areas like highways, autobahns or freeways. First of all, the control technology allows you to keep to the selected section of the road, eliminating the possibility of an unauthorized exit from the road. In fact, this is of great importance for today's realities: increasingly, the main causes of car accidents is the temporary detachment of drivers from controlling the situation behind the road (sleeping at the wheel, overwork, health problems).
Formerly exclusive to high-end and premium sedans the system slowly migrated to the camp of budget and family types of cars, offering its functionality to almost any car owner.
The principle of operation of the lane control system
There are several types running systems lane control, which are used in the creation of modern cars. However, the functional essence remains unchanged - not to allow the exit from the given path.
The path trajectory is set using sensors placed in the area front bumper(inside the grille) or inside the car (next to the rear-view mirror). The computer marks the conditional markings on the road ahead of the car, calculates the position of the car in real time and using pre-recorded algorithms and program code controls the movement of the car on the right course.
If the exit maneuver is not planned by the driver himself (the lane control system responds to the turn signal), the computer will intentionally warn the driver of the vehicle that a detour from the set route is possible. The notification may look completely different, depending on the type of LDWS used (for example, a loud sound signal, or vibrate the steering wheel).
Recent developments in this area provide the system with control over maneuvers of particular complexity (for example, emergency braking). Usually such systems are included in the so-called "autopilot". By the way, in latest models Cadillac uses data processing on navigation maps, and the system knows in advance about all the turns and necessary maneuvers on a given route.
Types of sensors and strip control systems
On this moment There are 2 types of technologies:
- lane departure warning system(Lane Departure System "LDS"), which issues notifications of unauthorized attempts to change the set course;
- lane keeping system (Lane Keep ing System "LKS"), which is authorized to perform maneuvers and actions independent of the driver to keep the car in the lane if it does not respond to external warning signals.
In addition, the presence of a lane control system also implies the location of reading sensors in the vehicle structure that process incoming information in real time. Depending on the functionality, there are the following types of sensors:
- video sensor, the principle of their operation is very similar to video recorders, and they are located mainly in the central area on windshield;
- laser sensors, are located in the body of the car, usually in the grille or bumper. With the help of clear algorithms, it projects lines onto a given route and follows it;
- infrared sensors, are similar in functionality to laser ones, but have a different type of data processing. show excellent results at night time. Placed in the bottom of the car.
Advantages and disadvantages of LDW
As mentioned earlier, the LDW system can become indispensable assistant and the "guardian angel" of many car owners. No one is safe from situations that may arise while driving, especially since participants traffic on the roads is now increasing every day. It takes only a few seconds for the situation to go from “normal” to “emergency”, and just these seconds are decisive.
However, it should be borne in mind that an incorrectly configured detection system can be too intrusive and react even to the slightest bumps in the car associated with road roughness. Excessive reminder can cause the very distraction of the driver, about which so much has been said in this article.
In addition, some road detection sensors do not respond well to worn out incorrect road markings, and snowy road is the cause of many malfunctions and malfunctions LDW systems. In such situations, it is better to turn off the technology until it is more rationally used.
It is worth a little distraction from the road or, God forbid, fall asleep at the wheel, as the car risks youdrive out of your lane and get into a separation barrier or into the oncomingstrip.Lane keeping systems are designed to prevent such accidents.
Modern cars trained to watch the road and give signals to the driver if he is not carefully driving the car on the highway. In the simplest case iron Horse will beep or cause the steering wheel or pilot seat to vibrate. Such an alarm reaction will follow if the wheel of the car ran into the road marking line without turning on the corresponding turn signal. The signal given by vigilant electronics will draw the driver's attention to the road and to what is happening on it.
Without such assistance, a car that has left its lane without permission has a very high chance of flying into a fence, on oncoming lane or stop in a roadside ditch.
Is it easy to lose focus on the road? The statistics say it's very easy. It is worth distracting yourself by controlling a CD radio, answering a call (it doesn’t matter whether the conversation is hands-free or on the phone), watching a child, or just dozing off - at highway speed in a second, the car overcomes tens of meters and the steering wheel deflection quickly takes it out of lane limits.
Meanwhile, not all electronic assistants are equally talented and capable. We have collected 11 different cars with a similar purpose system that monitors the lane. No longer sitting behind the wheel, but reading the operating instructions, it becomes clear that these systems differ in their functions.
Exist passive systems, which monitor the road and give signals to the driver. Active systems have also been invented and implemented - their advanced technologies allow you to intervene in steering and automatically steer within the current lane. A Mercedes electronics also entitled to use the brakes. All 11 experimental cars will pass on one section of the road, and we will compare their capabilities.
How the Lane Tracking System Works
The systems discussed below are divided into two types. The first type appeared earlier and its functions include only a warning about unauthorized leaving of the lane. The second type is more modern - this is an active system that, by steering, can return the car to the lane and independently drive it within it. Mercedes performs a return to its lane with short brake pulses. All systems rely on video cameras or infrared sensors to recognize the road markings and the moment of unauthorized crossing. In active systems, the electronics calculates by what angle the steering wheel needs to be turned (the steering wheel turns the electric power steering motor) so that the car stays in its lane. In any case, the intervention of the lane control system is accompanied by a warning signal. The system does not intervene if crossing the lane is accompanied by the corresponding turn signal.
Citroën: reliable, but late
Citroen C 4 sees everything, one way or another. The fact that the lane control system is working is indicated by a green light on the button for activating this system. However, being active, the system warns about the intersection of the markings only from time to time. Citroën warns the driver with seat vibration (a small, servo-driven roller is installed under the upholstery), but we rarely received this signal. In addition, for marking yellow color C 4 registered extremely reluctantly.
So, when the seat starts to vibrate, the driver must immediately react and turn the steering wheel to the right side. You need to act quickly and unambiguously, because. the signal is given only upon crossing the markup, and not upon approaching it. The fact is that the system implemented in the Citroen C 4 uses infrared sensors that are installed in the corners of the front bumper and directed vertically downwards. Their "viewing angle" is minimal, so the system only reacts to collisions or crossings of the marking line. Such a solution may not react at all to a broken marking line if the car drove between two lanes. In addition, Citroën's lane-keeping system turns on only at 80 km / h - this is too much: in the city and on repaired sections of roads, it is dormant.

Ford: complex system for the compact Focus
TEST WINNER: RECOMMENDED!
Focus leaves nothing to chance. Its system is capable of minimizing the danger posed by a nodding driver. Focus electronics are attentive, responsive and reliable, and deliver precise steering for course corrections. The degree of sensitivity with which the car reacts to unauthorized crossing of the lane has two settings. And the force with which the steering wheel vibrates to warn the driver has 3 adjustments. Great - any driver will be able to customize the degree of reaction of the auxiliary system.

Here, only traces of road markings remain, but Focus sees them. | Flexible setting: one keystroke |
Ford Focus is able to independently steer even in corners with a minimum radius. Also impressive is the reliability with which it finds and follows markings. Only in areas where repair work, Focus loses orientation. Also, his attention is dulled on sections of roads that are in the shade or with minimal lighting. In general, the lane keeping system works excellently in the Focus in all aspects. It is available as an option in a large package already for the Trend version.

Audi: a bunch of tech struggles with yaw
At Audi, things are complicated. Sensors installed in the bumper detect clear marking lines as well as temporary stripes. A camera mounted behind the windshield reads the worn markings. At the same time, the system control unit receives information from the vehicle: if the sports mode, then the marking tracking system will be loyal to how the driver cuts the apexes of turns and runs into road lanes. Smart!
Also, the Audi A 7 is endowed with serious technology in order to automatically maintain the course within the lane. As soon as there has been an unauthorized departure from the lane, the car, taxiing tactfully, will return to a safe course. This also works in sharp turns- Audi drives itself.
 |  |
A few intersecting yellow lines - most systems would get tangled up in them, but Audi handled it and drove properly | Flexible configuration: through the menu you can |
Through the menu, you can choose at what point the Audi A 7 will warn (by making the steering wheel vibrate) about crossing the marking: in advance or later (on the fact of departure).
The system is good, but it also has flaws. On the test track common use Audi A7 reacted to narrow lanes bitumen, applied in the center of the lane, between the white lanes, and continuously warned about crossing them. Also, the Audi A 7 does not react to the edge of the highway, on which there are no markings - be careful, because nothing will warn you about leaving the side of the road.

Mercedes: steering by braking
C-class drivers are forced to steer on their own. Although here, just like in Audi and VW, electric amplifier steering, he is not trained to interfere with the management. But Mercedes is still trying to correct the course and does it in its own way.
 |  |
High speed, tangible impact: steering by braking is annoying and makes the driver nervous, although everything works safely | Reference indication: illuminated lines |
At speeds over 60 km/h, the machine recognizes the marking and, if it is crossed unauthorized, creates a short brake impulse to change course. On gentle trajectories, such intervention is quite effective. But if the car approaches the markings at a steep angle, biting on the brakes won't help. But the C-class will notify the driver with a vibration on the steering wheel. In general, the Mercedes system reacts to solid marking lines, and ignores broken ones. She also does not favor yellow markings and does not pay attention to the curb.

BMW: without automatic steering
SIMPLE BUT EFFECTIVE.
BMW also does not consider driving intervention mandatory. On the verge of an emergency, the steering wheel of the Munich flagship vibrates slightly. Given the high price of the car, such a decision looks mean. Although the price for having such an assistant is more than high: you have to pay €3,500. Of these, the system itself costs €520, and another €3,000 will have to be paid for the obligatory DVD navigation system. Fortunately, this electronic assistant in BMW works impressively reliably. When the "seven" recognizes the markings, a slight vibration is heard on the steering wheel - you can be sure that the car is following the road.
 |  |
If the road is evenly covered with shadows, the BMW can see all the markings perfectly. Sometimes even better than the driver | BMW seriously armed: control system |
Cross-traffic warning is given in advance, so the driver has enough time to react. Even at steep interchanges, the system does not lose vigilance and controls the markings. In our BMW hands The 740d made a minimum of errors, even recognizing heavily worn lines and an unmarked border between asphalt and lawn on the side of the road. Mistakes were made on the road passing through the forest - there the car was confused by colorful shadows. Temporary markings also did not succumb to BMW electronics.

LEXUS: too expensive assistant
EXPENSIVE AS A CAR.
The LKA (Lane Keeping Assist) system in Lexus serves two purposes. Lane Departure Warning is active at speeds between 50 and 200 km/h. And active automatic steering in its lane operates in the range from 75 to 180 km / h. The lane keeping system works in Lexus very delicately and warns the driver in advance with a shrill signal about an unauthorized approach to the markings.
 |  |
Disorientation: Lexus is powerless here. Random lanes defy the understanding of the LKA system. But the notification is working. | The system is active: when the electronics |
Lexus electronics cope well with standard markings, but problems arise with chaotic temporal markings. If there are crossing lines along the way, Lexus can pull the car between the two thickest and clearest lanes. We advise you to turn off the LKA before approaching such road sections. On stretches of motorway, the Lexus rides reliably and pleasantly, only occasionally faltering between two dotted lines. But the biggest fly in the ointment is the incredibly huge cost of this system: €15,500.

Honda: clean ride with some nuances
The Accord drives down the highway like it's being driven by an invisible pilot. The automatic steering steers the car straight down the middle of the lane with impressive precision. Taxiing is safe and reliable, the driver has full confidence in Honda. Such magic happens only when the marking lines are clear and correct. If the system cannot determine lane boundaries, it disables automatic steering.
 |  |
Clear lines, clear steering: on this road, you can rely entirely on Honda, which drives correctly in the lane | About the functioning of the system |
Accord electronics are confused by worn stripes, temporary yellow markings, colorful shadows on the road. On "problem" sections of roads, the driver will have to take control of the car. Moreover, the signal announcing the approach to the markup is heard too late and there is almost no time left for a corrective turn of the steering wheel. In addition, the warning system operates in a not very convenient speed range: from 72 to 180 km / h. For Accord in Belarus, the lane control system is not offered.

CONCLUSION
Honda's system would have had every chance of success if it hadn't had trouble recognizing fuzzy road lines. But in general, a good, albeit expensive solution.
Toyota: inattentive assistant
Although Toyota has the same system as Lexus, it works less clearly. On country roads, Avensis often makes mistakes and loses contact with the markings. For this system, the presence of two lanes on the road is critical. That is, if there are no markings along the curb, and there is a good solid or broken line in the center, Toyota is not able to navigate. As with the Lexus, the yellow markings are also incomprehensible, and the criss-crossing lines confuse the car.
 |
|
No problem with the dotted line: on a well-groomed road, the Avensis drives dexterously and steers automatically in its lane | Typical camera position: on glass, |
The automatic steering function is activated infrequently and timidly (and only when the active radar cruise control is on). If the markings are clear, then Avensis drives well on its own in its own lane. But as soon as the lines become a little thinner, the car will require the intervention of the driver. The warning system works in more cases and pretty good. In Belarus, Avensis cannot be ordered with LKA, and in Europe the surcharge is prohibitive.

Opel: effective only on a well-groomed road
EXPENSIVE AND NOT PERFECT.
Opel has a lot of good and reliable solutions in this, but the lane keeping track system is not one of them. Electronics designed simply to warn of unauthorized exit from the lane are often confused with the analysis of solid marking lines, not to mention yellow or worn markings. Yes, and the logic of alerting the functioning of this system is very tricky: when the indicator on the power button lights up yellow, this means that the electronics do not recognize the road markings. On a test section of roads where there were no normal markings, the indicator was green - the system seemed to recognize something. But what exactly, we did not understand.
 |  |
The worn lines on the country road are not visible to opel cameras, although the system is active and the speed of movement does not prevent recognition | The key on the console activates the system, |
It is not surprising that signals in the form of a sound alert and blinking of the yellow indicator about the intersection of the markings are given from time to time or not at all. However, when driving on a road with normal markings Opel Astra[^] behaves in the best way: correctly tracks the lane and warns in advance of leaving the lane. The road marking camera is available for all versions except the basic Essentina, but in Belarus this system is excluded from the list of equipment.

COMPETENTLY AND EFFECTIVELY: WE RECOMMEND
The lane keeping system in the Passat works in the same way as in the Audi A7. The electronics are active at speeds over 65 km/h and independently control the car, helping it to drive in the lane and not allowing unauthorized crossing of the markings. The signal about an accidental crossing of the marking is given in the form of a vibration of the steering wheel and this happens at the last moment. Unlike Audi, VW cannot be programmed when (sooner or later) the signal will be given.

HOW WE TESTED AND EVALUATED
For testing, we selected 90 km of roads, among which were sections of highways and highways (with two and three lanes for traffic in one direction), narrow country roads and areas where renovations are taking place. Right before the tests, we made a legend describing the quality and nature of the road markings. All cars were traveling along the same route at the same speeds. This made it possible to compare the efficiency of the systems. The weather and lighting conditions were the same. The experts assessed the adequacy and timeliness of the warning about crossing the markings. When evaluating the automatic steering function, we determined the sensitivity and reliability of its operation. We noted each error of this or that function in the journal.
At the same time, we evaluated the possibility of system settings, ease of use and control over their work. For example, we determined how easy it is to enable and configure given type electronic assistant, how understandable the alarm signal is. We also took into account the cost of acquiring this system (for a new car, of course), including the payment for the necessary options.
SUMMARY: Useful, but not perfect
It's time to dot the "i": this system, as, in principle, and any other in the car, should not replace the driver and work independently, alone.
With that caveat, every one of the systems tested here is capable of preventing accidents and embarrassing traffic accidents. It's just wonderful: great minds have taken another step towards road safety. Our test proved that the ideal system for tracking and controlling the lane (road markings) has not yet been invented. None of the tested models got the highest score, all have flaws, large or small. A sleepy and attentive driver does not need help from such systems. Well, except for showing off to friends. Like any other auxiliary system, this one costs several hundred euros, and sometimes even fifteen thousand!
To prevent emergencies Lane assist system created lane assist, which helps the driver to keep moving in the right direction. The device functions effectively only when the vehicle is moving along pavement with high quality stripes.
At different manufacturers The system has its own characteristics and differs in the name. For the Volkswagen, SEAT and Audi lines - Lane Assist. Honda and Fiat - Lane Keep Assist System, Mercedes - Lane Keeping Assist, Toyota - Lane Monitoring System, Ford - Lane Keeping Aid, Nissan - Lane Keeping Support System, Volvo, Opel, Kia, Citroen and BMW - Lane Departure Warning System.
The system assists the driver in two ways: passive and active.
First the method is aimed at warning the driver if he starts to deviate from his chosen lane. Second- active together with the first one, automatically corrects the direction of movement.
Lane assist system design electronic mode independently affects the control button, which includes the system itself, the video camera, the mechanisms that execute the command and the control unit. The control button can be located on the turn signal switch handle, on the center console, or directly on the car's instrument panel.
The camcorder is designed to record images in the area of vehicle movement, and also digitizes data. It is connected to the combined block, which is fixed on front glass behind the outside rearview mirror. Devices that are involved in the entire executive system Lane driving aids are the vibration signal on the steering wheel, the power steering motor, the horn and the control light.
Data about the functioning of the system is sent to dashboard where they are controlled by a light bulb. The driver receives a warning signal from the steering wheel, which begins to vibrate after the vibration is generated by the electric motor mounted in the steering wheel. In addition, the warning is accompanied by a sound and light signal.
To eliminate fogging and ice formation on the camera screen in automatic mode works a heating element located on the windshield.
The direction of movement is adjusted by force by adjusting the operation of the steering with the help of a power steering, or by one-sided braking of the wheels.
An active system during its functioning solves four main tasks:
— Determining the direction of the lane line.
- Notification of the operation of the system by lighting up the light bulb.
— Adjustment of the direction of movement.
- Gives a warning signal to the driver.
The situation in front of the car is perceived by the light-sensitive camera grid, where it is converted to a black and white image, which is then processed electronic unit management.
The purpose of the control unit is to determine the location and recognition of the marking strip, its quality, width and curvature, to calculate the location of the car on the strip. As a result of the calculations, the steering wheel is controlled through brake system, and if the desired effect of holding the car is not achieved, the driver receives a warning in the form of steering wheel vibration or a light and sound signal.
It must be borne in mind that the torque applied to the steering mechanism through wheel braking is small and can be easily overcome by the driver. We must also not forget that when changing traffic from one lane to another, it is necessary to turn on the direction indicators, otherwise the lane control system will block the maneuver. If for some reason the marking strip is missing, the system does not work.
To prevent accidents, a driver assistance system has been created for Lane Assist, which helps the driver to keep moving in the right direction. The device functions effectively only if the car is moving on a road surface with high-quality lane markings.
- Different manufacturers have a system that has its own characteristics and differs in name. For Volkswagen, SEAT and Audi lines - Lane Assist. Honda and Fiat - Lane Keep Assist System, Mercedes - Lane Keeping Assist, Toyota - Lane Monitoring System, Ford - Lane Keeping Aid, Nissan - Lane Keeping Support System, Volvo, Opel, Kia, Citroen and BMW - Lane Departure Warning System.
