Abstract:

This Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis (IDEA) project investigated two concepts for low-cost automated systems that can sense when a vehicle drifts out of its lane and then alert the driver. One system was based on vehicle-mounted infrared (IR) sensors and the other on radio-frequency (RF) sensors, both of which can detect reflective paint stripes on the lane boundaries. Results indicate that both technologies may be used to detect suitable paint stripes, but further refinement is necessary, and important issues remain to be addressed. It is recommended that further study of the RF technology be conducted. The IR technology has certain benefits over RF methods, but is not suitable in inclement weather conditions.
