Lane Detection System

The Lane Detection System uses our proprietary vision and laser based system to find road markings including:

• Lane markers
• Stop lines and crosswalks
• Road labels like speed limits, "SIGNAL AHEAD", "BUMP", etc.

The Lane Detection System can extract:

• Lane marker color
• Lane marker type (solid or broken)
• Lane widths
• Vehicle position within travel lane
• Curvature of lane or upcoming turns up to 300 feet in front of the vehicle

• Can be integrated with vehicle automation system to automatically keep vehicle within current travel lane
• Windows based GUI provides visual confirmation of road markings, either in vision coordinate system or earth based coordinate system
