Kohotusaine

Kohotusaine is a Finnish word that translates to "lane control device" or "lane departure warning system" in English. It is a type of in-vehicle system designed to help prevent crashes caused by drifting out of one's lane while driving.

The Kohotusaine system is equipped with a camera or sensors that monitor the car's position within a lane, and if it is determined that the vehicle is drifting out of its lane, the system alerts the driver through a warning sound or a vibration in the seat or steering wheel. In some cases, the system may also provide a corrective steering input to help steer the vehicle back into its lane.

The Kohotusaine system is typically integrated into a vehicle's safety features, such as the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system, and is designed to work cooperatively with other safety features such as lane change assist systems.

In terms of regulations, the use of Kohotusaine or similar lane departure warning systems is not mandated by law in most countries. However, some countries and regions have enacted regulations requiring the installation of such systems in new vehicles as a safety measure.

Research has shown that lane departure warning systems, like Kohotusaine, can be effective in reducing the number of accidents caused by lane drift and other types of inattention while driving. As a result, many car manufacturers have included this technology in their vehicles as a standard or optional feature.
