Outline
  • Setup speed area is 72−180 km/h (45−112 mph).
  • If functions from straight line to 230R when car runs 80 km/h (50 mph).
  • This system detects a slight movement of a steering wheel.
  • This system turns on and off according to operation of the LKAS switch.
  • Line width, length, and continuousness detected as a feature of the line from the image captured by the LKAS camera, in order to judge and evaluate whether it is a lane, and recognized as a lane on the road.
  • Lateral direction control to maintain a lane consists of recognizing a lane on the road correctly by the image process system. This system can recognize complicated lanes such as broken lines, double broken lines, and blanches.
  • Data obtained from the image process system is calculated with a control unit and compute the steering torque necessary to assist the LKAS and realizes the LKAS using the EPS current control.
  • Driver's steering operation to maintain the driving lane is widely decreased thanks to this system and driving stability against disturbance such as abrupt cross wind is increased.
