Lane Keeping Control with Driver-Defined Parameters
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current Lane Keeping Assist Systems (LKAS) lack the ability for drivers to set individual control points and degrees for left and right lanes, leading to potential interruptions in driving due to mismatched driving habits, and do not allow for customizable intervention levels, which can cause discomfort and safety concerns.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle system that includes an input unit for receiving control points and degrees for lane keeping, a lane controller that determines lane keeping control based on road and vehicle conditions, and a controller that applies steering torque to maintain lane position, allowing drivers to set specific control points and degrees for left and right lanes independently through a user interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If Lane Keeping Assist System applies fixed control parameters for all drivers, then system complexity is reduced, but driver comfort and safety deteriorate due to mismatched driving habits
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts control parameters based on individual driver preferences. Drivers can set their desired lane position (control point) and intervention strength (control degree) through a user interface, and the system adapts these parameters in real-time to match each driver's habits and comfort level, resolving the contradiction between fixed simplicity and adaptive reliability.
2Device complexity
If Lane Keeping Assist System provides standardized control for both left and right lanes, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability to individual driving styles deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The control system is segmented into independent parameters for left lane and right lane. Drivers can set different control points and control degrees for each lane direction, allowing customized intervention strategies for different driving scenarios while maintaining a unified system architecture that avoids excessive complexity.
3Measurement precision
If Lane Keeping Assist System applies strong intervention to correct lane position, then lane keeping precision is improved, but driver comfort deteriorates due to excessive steering torque
Solution Approach 1:
The system allows drivers to adjust the control degree parameter that determines the strength of steering torque intervention. By mapping control points to specific lane positions and control degrees to intervention intensities, the system achieves precise lane keeping while accommodating individual comfort preferences through parameter customization.

AI summary
A vehicle includes an input unit configured to receive an input of a control point and a control degree related to lane keeping; a lane controller configured to determine whether to perform a lane keeping control based on the input control point, road conditions and a vehicle condition in the road; and a controller configured to control the vehicle's driving based on the control degree when the lane controller determines to perform the lane keeping control.
