ABSTRACT

Lane departure warning systems are expected to improve safety on the roads. In the
present paper, we proposed the design of a handheld real-time lane departure warning system.
Such a device can be used on every road vehicle and dramatically improve safety. In order to
attain our goal, we adopted the technology of embedded systems. In recent years, the
enhancement of embedded calculating technology has allowed the performance of embedded
systems to gain enough capability to carry out the huge calculations for lane departure
warning algorithms. Finally, we implemented a real-time lane departure warning system on
an image-processing platform that we also developed and which can be validated both in
actual road tests and on a small-sized PCB board.
