Title:

Effects of Pavement Marking Characteristics on Machine Vision Technology

Accession Number:

01625598

Record Type:

Component

Abstract:

Machine vision systems are becoming more common with new vehicles. This technology can detect pavement markings to provide the driver various benefits such as lane departure warning and lane keeping assistance. In order to better understand the effects of pavement marking characteristics on the performance of machine vision systems, Potters Industries sponsored research to determine effects of pavement marking width, pavement marking color, and pavement marking retroreflectivity (dry and wet). The test equipment, protocol, and results are described below. This research offers the first-of-its-kind glimpse into the relationship between pavement markings characteristics and machine vision detection. While more work is clearly needed, this work should provide researchers, highway agencies, and vehicle manufacturers some general understanding that can lead to safer highways and more cost-effective pavement marking management practices.
