AutoVue ® Lane Departure Warning (LDW) System by Bendix CVS
SD-64-4976
1.0 DESCRIPTION
The AutoVue ® Lane Departure Warning (LDW) System by
Bendix CVS gives drivers the ability to combat lane drift
related to: drowsiness/fatigue, distractions, and adverse/
unfavorable weather conditions.
At speeds above 37 mph (60 kmph), the AutoVue system
tracks visible lane markings including both solid and dashed
shoulder lines, center lines, and lines between lanes.
When an unexpected lane change takes place – a lane
change without an activated turn signal – the system alerts
the driver to make a correction.
The AutoVue LDW system is intended only as an
aid for a conscientious and alert driver. It may not
provide any warning of unintended lane departures
under certain conditions. Do not rely solely on
the system to safely operate the vehicle. It does
not warn of all possible hazards. For example, the
system cannot help prevent an accident if the driver
is impaired or not driving safely.
Ultimate responsibility for the safe operation of the
vehicle remains with the driver at all times.
1.1 SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The system components include a digital camera mounted
near the middle of the windshield inside the cab, an enable/
disable switch (typically with status lamps), a driver alert
system (speakers and/or a vibrating seat), and a central
processing unit in the overhead console.
Some vehicles connect the AutoVue system to the vehicle’s
telematics communication system (See Appendix A:
Bendix ™ SafetyDirect ® system).
The camera is
mounted to the
