While existing
lane departure systems rely on optical and sensors to determine a vehicle's position relative to road markings, the Visteon/UMTRI project integrates radar and GPS technology to provide a more comprehensive driver assistance system.
Innovative options include xenon dual function directional headlights - standard on Exclusive or pounds 750 on VTR models - and a first-in-class
Lane Departure System, which adds pounds 300 to the price.
The
Lane Departure System recognises lane markings through the use of a small camera mounted in the rearview mirror, which, together with the vehicle's speed and other factors, then determines if the vehicle is leaving its designated lane.

Features such as Vauxhall's FlexFix cycle carrier as used on the Corsa are also likely to be included on the newmodel as will the Front Camera System from the Insignia, which combines traffic signal recognition with a
lane departure system.
