Lane Departure Warning System

[Chevy57]

Lane Departure Warning system has effectively created a virtual rumble strip along all roads that have lane markings. The system will prevent drivers from falling asleep at the wheel and driving off the road. But hearing impaired drivers can't hear buzzer.

Some cars even alert you by vibrating the steering wheel or driver’s seat but most sound a chime and/or illuminate a warning light somewhere on the dashboard.

What model of cars include vibrating steering wheel or driver's seat?

Why not Electric shock system to shock a driver if falling asleep, Give em' a Jolt!!

I read about it and it's good idea for all cars. I had scary experience on my 67' Chevy C-10 pickup truck many years ago. I fell asleep at 60mph on highway and my truck went off the road and I felt rough ride and woke up while driving on grass just about goind down to steep hill. I steered my truck slowly off the steep hill side back to road and pulled over. I was so scared that I wouldn't have known I would have driven my truck off the road to cliff next to Kaw River (Kansas River) just 500 feet away!!

I'm glad newer system would alert drivers that they are going off the road or too close to other car next to them.

I would rather vibrating seat or steering wheel that would alert deaf or HH drivers.

You are very lucky to save your life. I felt rumble strips on shoulders of freeway when i m almost fell sleep while driving. They help to be alerting us but almost snow states s roads don't have rumble spots on changing lanes. I really like this spots in California, Nevada and southern Arizona.

fail.

In australia - most highways and Freeways has a line on both sides, to alert truck drivers - when you drive over it, the whole vehicle vibrates, and it is not a good feeling, when you go over it, and this affects all other drivers too but good on the safe side.

I know these on the highway to Sydney.

I know that U.S. DOT has requiring for lane departure warning systems (LDWS) for large trucks. Some newer vehicles have equipment of LDWS.

Somehow I don't think lane departures are the only problem experienced by tired drivers.

But some drivers got drunk and using cellphone while driving and moving on lines.

 

[Glenn]

Yeah, it is a band-aid for other problems.

• Don't drive when you are overtired.
• Don't drive when you are on the cell phone.
• Don't drive drunk.

Simple as that.

whoa, well, their experiment on the vibrator in the wheel steering or inside the seat, is translating to the car manufacturer's high cost. Not worth. My question is: If the vibrator motor installed in the steering wheel.... Will the air bag in the steering wheel, deploy when the vibrator motor trigger or interfere? Vibrator motors in the seats is ok but to the car makers.

 

[Glenn]

It shouldn't set the air bag off if it vibrates the steering wheel. The actual switch is somewhere else.

The impact sensor is located in the front radiator support that the computer sense it then input to an air bag to deploy when crash. Sometime techs call the impact sensor as crash sensor.

That's right. Some impact sensor is located in the side of door and rear of bumper.

Most vibrator motors cost only $10.

Like that price.

Also, it a lot CHEAPER than an accident repair bill.
Just my two cents.

rear of bumper?? I've not seen it, but I saw an impact sensor in the front, never see a side impact sensor. If I am a body repair expert then I would tell you where the crash sensors are locating in the chassis/body.

I was there at body repair class as visit before. That's how I get the idea.

Some states have rough part on the side of the road...it does make the car vibrate a lot when u go on it. I don't think Iowa has that.

I fell asleep at the wheel when I was going on the way to work early in the morning long time ago and totalled my car but I walked away without a bump or scratch. It ran over bushes and small trees at the time I woke up and hit the brakes hard. I was scared and freaked out.

A lot of highways already have those rough edges on the shoulders that will really rattle you if you ever go over the shoulder.

Be happy you are okay. No hurts.

Not all states already have rough edges. They are for southwest only or rare snow.

Real reason why most states whatever do heavy snow dont have rough edges or snow plow will destroy it.

it's here in NY, NJ, CT, MA, VA, MD, PA, and WV.

eh? no it's because it's to prevent sleepy drivers from getting in bad accidents.
