Lane Departure, Swerving & Potential Wrong Direction Events

Identify unsafe lane movement and potential wrong direction travel, alert drivers in the moment and give your team the context to respond.

Vision360 lane departure event review: road-facing video with the lane boundary highlighted and a left lane departure overlay, the metric row for max distance from lane, time out of lane, speed, direction and return to lane, the five seconds either side strip, the data quality row, and the event summary. 4:3, dark UI, 2000x1500.

EXPLORE EVENT TYPES

How Each Event Is Detected and Responded To

  • Lane departure

    Detects when a vehicle crosses or remains outside a lane boundary for longer than the configured time. Uses road facing camera data to track lane position, time and distance outside the lane, while considering indicator status where available.

  • Swerving and unstable driving

    The vehicle weaves within the lane or makes repeated steering corrections. Measures lateral movement and lane position to identify excessive corrections.

  • Potential wrong direction driving

    Identifies when a vehicle appears to be travelling against the expected road direction, using vehicle heading and supported map data. Events are reviewed before being confirmed.

  • Related road alerts

    Other road safety events that add context to lane risk, including unsafe lane changes, road edge departure and hard braking in lane.

Detection uses indicator data where available to help determine intention
The four event types as road-facing camera stills: a vehicle crossing a lane line, a weaving path traced over a lane, a vehicle travelling against the flow, and a cluster of related road alerts. 4:3, dark UI.

Additional features

  • Time out of Lane

    How long the vehicle was over the lane boundary.

  • Maximum Distance from Lane

    How far the vehicle moved beyond the lane boundary.

  • Return to Lane

    How quickly the vehicle returned to its lane.

  • Indicator Status

    Whether the indicator was active, where available.

  • Lane Marking Type

    Solid and broken markings detected with their own severity.

  • Lateral Corrections

    Steering corrections counted within the detection window.

  • Map Confidence

    Direction confidence considered before a wrong direction event is raised.

  • Human Review

    Wrong direction events require review before confirmation.

  • Detection Quality

    Calibration, camera view, marking confidence, geometry and visibility.

  • Weather and Light

    Conditions recorded on the event.

  • Five Seconds Either Side

    Video from before and after the departure.

  • Vehicle Response

    Lane position and speed before and after the alert.

Frequently Asked Questions

Talk to our team
  • Does an indicated lane change raise an event?

    Indicator status is used where available, so a signalled lane change can be treated differently from an unsignalled departure. Where indicator data is unavailable, the event still records what happened for review.

  • How is swerving different from lane departure?

    Lane departure means crossing the detected lane boundary. Swerving means repeated lateral movement or rapid steering corrections within the lane, making it an earlier indicator of unstable driving.

  • Why does a wrong direction event need human review?

    Map data and road type are not infallible. Depots, private roads, contraflows and roadworks can produce headings that appear wrong when they are not. High severity is reserved for public roads with strong direction confidence, but confirmation always requires human review.

  • What if the lane markings are poor?

    The event records lane marking confidence, road geometry, camera calibration, camera view and road visibility, so a reviewer can assess whether the detection is reliable enough to act on.

  • Can we set different rules for solid and broken lines?

    Yes. Each can have its own minimum speed, minimum time out of lane, driver alert, manager notification and severity.

  • Is the driver alerted at the time?

    Yes. A stay in your lane prompt is delivered through supported in cab devices. The system then looks for a positive change, such as returning to the lane or adjusting speed, with the before and after values recorded.
