WABCO unveiled its next generation OnLane lane departure warning system (LDWS), an advanced driver assistance system that features a new, high resolution camera integrated with a SmartDrive video-based driver performance management system. WABCO’s OnLane is a camera-based LDWS that continuously monitors the vehicle’s position within lane markings. It alerts the driver via visual, audible or haptic warnings to take corrective action when it detects unintentional lane changes. OnLane now links to SmartDrive’s driver performance management system, which incorporates video recording and near real-time video analysis. SmartDrive’s capabilities enable driver coaching to improve driving efficiency and support enhanced road safety.
OnLane also features a camera that combines the functionalities of lane marking detection and video streaming. It also delivers improved lane marking recognition due to an intelligent lane tracking algorithm. These newly combined capabilities eliminate the need for two forward-looking cameras previously required to provide the same functionality as the new OnLane, the company explained.
“WABCO’s OnLane demonstrates the powerful connectivity of comprehensive real-time data gathered from our advanced monitoring, control and braking systems and SmartDrive’s in-depth video analytics of driver behavior,” said Jon Morrison, WABCO’s president for the Americas. “Vehicle fleet owners gain access to a powerful new tool to help advance the safety and efficiency performance of their drivers and vehicles.”
