In new Agreement, Honda proposes a system putting handing of the car on the straight and narrow and so to avoid a change of involuntary band.
We already know the Citroën, Audi systems and BMW, for example, provoking vibrations to the seat or to the steering wheel if the driver seems to deviate from his trajectory involuntarily. Either because he is distracted, or because he falls asleep. Honda goes one not farther by allowing even the car to replace herself between lines. This system is called LKAS (Lane Keeping Assist System) and will be proposed in the new generation Agreement. This technology of assistance active of band of traffic works thanks to a small camera installed behind the windscreen. Its role is to watch the markings on the ground and so to detect any abnormality of the car.
Concretely, when the vehicle is about to cross the limit, a sound signal rings before acting concretely. The system leaves naturally a period of initiative to the driver, but if this one remains inactive, the power steering will be activated to replace the car between the bands of traffic(circulation). The LKAS works only in certain conditions. First of all, the markings on the ground must be clear and visible, maintained well thus, then, he cannot have of tight bend there. The speed must be included between 72 and 180 kph and the driver has to have at least a hand on the steering wheel. Furthermore, he must not have made his twinkling lights working. Finally, if the driver gives an abrupt movement or shows a behavior of avoidance as a matter of urgency, the system also deactivates.
All this enter an outfit of helps in the driving, as the anticollision radar. Any sets, they can decrease the risks of accident. Notably in case of slumber.
