The research found:
- A variety of lane marking types tested along a stretch of highway in remote WA caused the lane departure warning system to give appropriate warnings, both during day and night-time and in areas where red dirt was present on the road.
- Remote roads may be suitable for vehicles with lane departure warning technology.
Road safety benefit:
The research was beneficial to the extent that Government received a report giving an overview of the suitability of lane departure warning systems on highways in remote WA. However, the report recommended further research to include similar testing with a variety of road types, vehicles and lane departure warning systems.
