A review of SA line markings for suitability with lane support systems: a video analysis trial

Abstract

Custom video analysis software was used to determine when the lane support systems of two vehicles could identify the lane line markings along Victor Harbor Road, South Australia. The video analysis software proved successful and produced an average line marking detection rate of 97.8% between the two test vehicles. The locations and a heat map of areas where line marking non-detections occurred was generated. The situations in which non-detections occurred were potentially attributed to shadows over the line markings, newly formed lanes, uncommon lane dividing markings and absences of line markings. Potential solutions to overcome the non-detections along Victor Harbor Road are discussed.
