Lane Change From Slow Lane
Have you ever been in a situation where one
vehicle traveling in a group- attempts to avoid being slowed
by a vehicle in their lane and decides to change lanes?
This scenario is a source of anxiety
for the driver being cut off- who may, also be trapped
by traffic in the adjacent lane. The
driver making the decision to change lanes, may not be
aware that the car they are about to cut-off is as near
as it is.
Valeo Raytheon Lane Change Assistant
would have warned the driver that a vehicle is in the
change path, perhaps giving that driver the information
that would have allowed them to make a different decision.

Exit Cut-Off
Have
you ever been in the left-hand lane, signaling for an exit,
when suddenly, a vehicle accelerates from behind you, passes
you and takes the exit right in front of your car? I
think we all have, at one time or another.
With increasing roadway congestion,
situations like this are becoming more common. No system can eliminate
aggressive driving behavior by others, but in this scenario,
VRS technology could have alerted you to a rapidly approaching
vehicle. Depending on the speed before the exit,
even one tenth of a second alert may have made a difference
in your awareness.
Valeo Raytheon Lane Change Assistant
could have warned you that a vehicle is approaching, then passing
and could have alerted you to the situation with enough
time to apply your brakes, helping to avoid an uncomfortable
situation.

Rear
Zone Protection
The most common accident
between two vehicles is the rear-end collision. In most cases, the crash
is caused by the approaching driver not being aware of
the difference in speed. While no system allows you
to control the other vehicle, systems can be applied to
your next vehicle that will raise the approaching
driver's awareness level.
System can sense
a vehicle approaching your car from the rear at a high
rate of speed. Because
it is radar technology, the system can take different approaches
to increasing levels of concern.
If the closing rate of speed is
high, the system can illuminate a brake style light to draw
attention to your vehicle. As
the vehicle comes closer, or if you have applied your brakes,
the system can increase the brightness of your brake-lights
and even pulse them, and alert you with a warning tone. If
the system senses that warnings have not worked, and that
a crash is unavoidable, the system, integrated with your
safety systems can initiate adjustable headrests, pretension
seatbelts and in other ways prepare the vehicle to survive
a collision.

Parking
Lot Assistance
Can
you remember the last time you were parked in a parking
lot between two large vehicles on a busy day? Backing out of the parking position is
uncomfortable, because you just don't know if someone is
driving in the lane, and perhaps not aware of you. Or
perhaps another car is also backing out of the other side.
Reversing
can be both stressful and can be the source of accidents. Valeo Raytheon Lane Change Assistant
installed in your next vehicle will make driving more pleasurable. It
can sense that you are in reverse gear, and if a vehicle
is present in the lane, initiate a warning light and or
a tone, to further alert other drivers that you are entering
the lane. This feature augments your standard
back-up sensors.
