Abstract:
A safety system for a vehicle providing a road departure protection feature comprises a camera, mounted to the vehicle to provide a view of a driving direction of the vehicle, and an electronic control unit connected to the camera. The electronic control unit includes instructions for analyzing the image and comparing the roadway path to the predicted vehicle path. The electronic control unit determines a vehicle roadway departure is occurring when the predicted vehicle path differs from the roadway path by a predetermined threshold, and then determines at least one corrective action to return the vehicle path to the roadway path. The safety system sends instructions to apply at least one corrective action with at least an electronic stability control system.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of preventing road departure for a vehicle comprising:\n analyzing an image from a camera, which provides a view of a driving direction for the vehicle, to recognize a roadway path by identifying a roadway edge, wherein the image analysis is performed by an electronic control unit for the vehicle; determining a predicted vehicle path with the electronic control unit; comparing the roadway path to the predicted vehicle path; determining a vehicle roadway departure when the predicted vehicle path differs from the roadway path by a predetermined threshold; determining at least one corrective action to return the vehicle path to the roadway path; and sending instructions to at least one other vehicle system to provide the at least one corrective action; wherein analyzing an image from the camera to recognize a roadway path further comprises estimating a road surface roughness.
