Lane departure feedback system

摘要

A lane departure warning system for a vehicle includes a positional input device and a seat having an inflatable bladder therein and a vibrational unit coupled with the bladder. A controller is communicatively coupled with the positional input device and with the vibrational unit and includes electronic circuitry programmed to detect a lane departure based on a signal from the positional input device and to cause the vibrational unit to vibrate in response thereto.

1. A lane departure warning system for a vehicle, comprising:
a positional input device; a seat including:
a cushion;a seat back coupled with the cushion;a carrier assembly within one of the cushion and the seatback, the carrier assembly including a body;an inflatable bladder;a vibrational unit; anda polymeric fastener that secures the inflatable bladder to the body of the carrier, wherein the vibrational unit is coupled with the bladder by being coupled with the polymeric fastener; and a controller communicatively coupled with the positional input device and with the vibrational unit and including electronic circuitry programmed to detect a lane departure based on a signal from the positional input device and to cause the vibrational unit to vibrate in response thereto a frequency of between about 80 Hz and 115 Hz to replicate a vibration of a seat in a vehicle traveling over a highway rumble strip.
