ReflektAS

ReflektAS - sicher auf der Spur
Fahrerassistenzsystem gibt den Impuls

Today's lane departure warning systems, for example, warn the driver with a sound if there is a risk of drifting out of lane. The disadvantage of this method is that the driver must first learn which reaction (steering in a certain direction) to a certain stimulus (e.g. sound) is the correct one. In addition, the correct reaction can be forgotten, as deviating from the track is usually a very rare event.
To counteract these disadvantages, we are currently developing and testing a completely new type of lane departure warning system based on reflexes. If there is a risk of drifting out of lane, the steering wheel is jerked in the same direction in which the vehicle is drifting out of lane. This triggers a steering reflex in the opposite direction. It is particularly advantageous that reflexes are very fast, stable and universal, so that the correct reaction can be reliably triggered.
