What is it? Covering seemingly endless motorway miles can take its toll on drivers. Many accidents on the open road happen because of drivers being tired or temporarily distracted and drifting out of their lane. Lane assist systems, available on most new cars, monitor the car’s position on the road, detect if the driver is unintentionally leaving their lane and react either through warnings or by actively steering the car back into its lane.
Lane assist is simply the next step towards cars becoming more self-aware and more able to stop an accident before it happens. The Highway Agency suggests that about 5 per cent of reported crashes occur when driver are merging with fast-moving traffic or changing lanes. Lane assist systems warn the driver if they are unintentionally straying out of lane in an effort to reduce this figure. Using a variety of sensors, most commonly a wide-angle camera placed in front of the rear-view mirror, the systems identify where the lanes are and monitor the car’s position in them, commonly at speeds above 40mph. If the system detects the driver is about to leave their lane it alerts them with an audible warning and, on some models, a vibration through the steering wheel.
