Michigan University study shows Takata’s lane-departure warning system aids truck safety

The University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI) and Takata Corporation have announced the results of a year-long field test of an integrated system of crash-warning technologies that is designed to enhance the safety of the commercial trucking industry. Takata’s SafeTraK Lane Departure warning system was used exclusively throughout testing. The results from the integrated vehicle-based safety system (IVBSS) study showed that 38% of drivers reported that the integrated warning systems prevented them from potentially having a crash, and 83% of drivers would prefer a truck equipped with the integrated warning systems and would recommend their carrier purchase the system.
