Heavy-Vehicle Lane Departure Warning Test Development
Richard L. Hoover, Sughosh J Rao, Gavin Howe, Frank Barickman · 2014
This report summarizes findings of a market study on existing lane departure warning systems (LDWS), compares domestic and international standard test procedures, and evaluates a developed test procedure for heavy-vehicle lane departure warning systems. The performance of two heavy-vehicle LDWS was evaluated for various lane departure scenarios. The performance tests included for left and right side warning activation on two different lane marking types (solid and dashed lines), and on straight and curved lanes. The developed test procedure is based on the existing light vehicle New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) lane departure warning test procedure with modifications for heavy-vehicle applications. The performance of the LDWS was analyzed and results are reported.
