Abstract

See full text

A lane change alarm using data for a highway track. A highway track database provides geographical location points for a track of a highway lane. A differential global positioning system (DGPS) receiver provides a vehicle location. A longitudinal track matching code matches the vehicle location against a track location and provides a longitudinal direction and a transverse distance to an alarm gate. The alarm gate indicates an alarm condition unless a lane change signaler is operated for indicating that the lane change is intentional. The highway track database is created using a similar DGPS receiver by determining and recording highway track location points for a selected highway lane while driving on the highway lane.
