6397 Meritor Wabco has enhanced its OnLane lane warning departure system with a video safety option that provides the ability to record and save videos of critical safety events.

Powered with SafeTraK technology by Takata, OnLane is designed to monitor road markings and the vehicle’s position in the lane. The system delivers distinct audible warnings to the driver, encouraging the use of turn signals if the vehicle leaves its lane unintentionally. In addition, OnLane is equipped with what is said to be the industry’s only driver alertness warning feature, which detects erratic or degraded driving based on lane weaving and provides a warning to the driver. The safety innovation helps drivers stay aware of dangerous driving situations caused by fatigue or distraction.

The new video-capturing feature is triggered by critical events, such as sudden deceleration, which causes the system to capture forward-looking colour video of the scene ahead for ten seconds before and five seconds after the start of the incident.

The system automatically stores the twenty most recent videos which can be downloaded manually using Meritor Wabco’s Toolbox 11.0 diagnostic software.
