Driver steering assistance to avoid unintended lane departure by lane keeping and steering suggestions
Résumé
One of the most frequent causes of highway accidents is the unintended out of lane deviation, due to moments of inattention, sleepiness or drowsiness. The enclosed video shows a driver steering assistance that prevents this type of lane departure. For vehicles with conventional steering columns, there are some difficulties in carrying out this type of steering assistance, in closed loop control. These difficulties consist in sharing vehicle control with the driver. The solution presented in this contribution is based on alternating the steering control of the vehicle between the driver and the steering assistance.
