Vi bidrar med det vi kan bäst och det vi är passionerade för – teknikutveckling! Teknik är dock inget självändamål – teknik är vad vi använder för att ge våra kunder de produkter och tjänster som svarar mot de krav och behov som formuleras i samhället. Våra kunder och våra produkter möter grundläggande samhälleliga behov – de är med och bygger samhällen och skapar välstånd. Med vårt tekniska kunnande, vår teknikpassion kan vi bidra till att göra transporter av varor och människor säkrare, mer effektiva och mer miljöriktiga. Jan-Eric Sundgren 24 November, 2008

14 Vehicle Integrated Lane Keeping Support
Available for Volvo FH & FH16 Lane Keeping Support (LKS) determines the vehicle position on the road by monitoring lane markings LKS warns and reduces the risk to: Unintentionally slide out of the lane Drive off the road Collide with meeting vehicles A vehicle integrated lane keeping support (LKS) system is already available on the market from Volvo. It determines the vehicle position on the road by monitoring lane markings It warns and reduces risk to Unitentionally slide out of the lane Drive off the road Collide with meeting traffic There are predictions indicating a reduction of truck related accidents by as much as 30% can be accomplished. Jan-Eric Sundgren 24 November, 2008

15 Vehicle integrated driver alert support
Monitors driving behaviour Warns tired drivers Based on LKS The safety research community seems to agree that reduced driver awareness is a major reason for serious accidents. Vehicle integrated Driver alert support systems are available today. Volvo uses the Lane keeping support system as a base, which of course means that good lane markings must be provided by the road operators. Jan-Eric Sundgren 24 November, 2008
