Description
Lane Departure Warning issues a warning if a vehicle approaches the edge of a lane. Lane detection and vehicle trajectory prediction are used to detect when lane departure is imminent.
If the driver starts to leave a lane without indicating, a warning is given which can be :
optical - display in the instrument cluster of head-up display
haptic - vibration of the steering wheel or side bolster
acoustic - buzzer

7. Function One Pager – Sway Warning System (SWS)
Use Cases:
Description
The SWS function detects if the vehicle is unsteady and will warm the driver by a buzzer sound and message on display that the vehicle has been swaying. The vehicle will be detected to be unsteady due to “lack of attention” when:
Case 1 (long term unsteadiness): the vehicle keeps swaying inside the lane
Case 2 (momentary unsteadiness): driver makes abrupt correction of steering wheel when he/she realized that the vehicle has been drifting. In this case the system becomes more sensitive.

17. Function One Pager – Emergency Brake & Steer Assist Int. Lat. & Long. Safety & Comfort Emergency Brake & Steer AssistBasic Use Cases:Description: The integrated Emergency Brake & Steer Assist function detects obstacles in the ego driving lane and calculates the criticality of the traffic situation.
