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
