Lane departure warning system A lane departure warning system (LDW) is a mechanism designed to warn a driver when the vehicle begins to move out of its lane (unless a turn signal is on in that direction) on freeways and arterial roads. The first production LDW system in Europe was the system developed by Iteris for Mercedes Actros commercial trucks. The system debuted in 2000 and is now available on most trucks sold in Europe. In 2002, the Iteris system became available on Freightliner trucks in North America. In Japan, Mitsubishi Fuso implemented the system in 2007. In all of these systems, the driver is warned of unintentional lane departures by an audible rumble strip sound generated on the side of the vehicle drifting out of the lane. If a turn signal is used, the system understands that the driver intends to leave the lane and no warnings are generated.
