Measures for lane guard assistance are focused on these types of accidents


Influencing vehicle dynamics

ESP Ex.: Electronic stability program (ESP) intervenes in a motorway exit from a speed of approx. 50 km/h*

*Assumption: truck 4 m high, 2.5 m wide, VQ = 3.1 m/s2


Acoustic warning ofunintentional leavinglane

Warning by vibration ofcorresponding seat edge

Lane guard system

Series since 2002 Series since 2006


Active lane correction

lane correction by selected brakingof single wheels

Lane correction by active steering

Keeping a vehicle in lane


Accident prevention by lane guard assistance
