Lane assistance systems

Even just a momentary lapse in concentration can cause the driver to unintentionally stray from the lane. The lane departure warning function warns the driver of straying from the marked lane and thereby helps to avoid accidents.

Drivers are taught to assess surrounding traffic before changing lanes by checking their rearview and side mirrors and looking over each shoulder. However, even for those who follow this sequence of checks, the vehicle's blind spot – the area alongside and just behind the vehicle – is a constant source of danger and often the cause of serious accidents. To make changing lanes safer, the blind spot detection warns of impending collisions.

Fatigue and distraction are the most common causes of unintentional straying from the marked lane. A brief distraction or loss of concentration can often be enough to cause the driver to depart from the lane. The lane keeping assist system actively helps drivers to keep their vehicle within the lane by countersteering.

Long, monotonous journeys can be tiring. This can quickly lead an unintentional drifting over one’s own lane markings, which is particularly dangerous if another vehicle is in the adjacent lane at precisely that moment or when changing lanes or when unprotected, steep embankments or verges line the edge of the road. If a critical situation arises and the driver does not react in time, the emergency lane keeping assist can actively and quickly steer the vehicle back into its own lane.

With the Bosch lane centering assist, the driver is comfortably relieved of the steering task. The function uses the multipurpose camera to detect lane boundaries, such as lane markings or structural boundaries alongside the vehicle. This determines the position of the vehicle within its own lane. The system takes over the steering, keeping the vehicle continuously in the lane. As this prevents drifting out of the lane, the function not only takes drivers comfortably but also safely to their destination.

Strong side winds are an enormous danger for commercial vehicles. This is because the vehicle construction offers a large area for wind impact. If there is a sudden gust of wind, the vehicle can drift away dangerously. But the Servotwin® keeps it safely in the driving lane. Sensors report the impending drift to the electronic control unit of the electric motor. The required steering correction is calculated in milliseconds and carried out by the electric motor of the Servotwin® . This ensures, that the vehicle always remains safe in the lane.
