Körfältassistans

Körfältassistans, often referred to as Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) or Lane Departure Warning (LDW), is a driver-assistance system designed to help prevent accidental lane departures. These systems typically use cameras or sensors to monitor the vehicle's position within its lane.

Lane Departure Warning systems primarily alert the driver when the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane without an activated turn signal. The alert can be auditory, such as a buzzing sound or vibration in the steering wheel, or visual, displayed on the dashboard. The goal is to quickly inform the driver of a potential unintentional lane change.

Lane Keeping Assist systems go a step further by actively intervening to steer the vehicle back into its lane. If the system detects an unintentional drift, it can apply gentle steering input to correct the vehicle's path. Some systems offer adjustable sensitivity and can be turned on or off by the driver.

These technologies are part of a broader suite of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) aimed at improving road safety by reducing accidents caused by driver inattention or fatigue. It is important to note that körfältassistans is a supplementary system and does not replace the driver's responsibility to monitor the road and control the vehicle. Drivers should always remain attentive and ready to take full control.
