Active Lane Management (ALM) system is a driver-assistance system that helps the driver guide the vehicle along the center line of controlled access roads when the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC+) system is engaged. Some following are properties of the ALM+ system:
- The usage of a forward-facing camera wired directly to the CADM to identify road edges, visible lane markings, and to track lane boundaries.
- The usage of a radar to monitor stationary objects and traffic flow to determine the forward path, and positioning of a forward vehicle.
- Provides a steering torque to keep the vehicle in the center of the lane.
- Active at vehicle speeds between 60 km/h (37 mph) and 180 km/h (112 mph).
- Allows the driver to manually override the system by applying torque into the steering wheel at any time or by activating the left or right turn signal indicators.
- Provides alerts to the driver when the system becomes disengaged or requires driver intervention. Depending on the condition, the alerts may be in the form of:
- Haptic feedback using vibration in the drivers seat.
- Haptic feedback using steering wheel vibration.
- Audible alerts.
- Visual indications using the driver assist screen on the IPC.
The driver is required to remain engaged in the task of driving the vehicle at all times. The ALM system determines driver engagement by using a combination of capacitive sensing by the SWSM plus steering wheel torque sensing by the EPS in order to determine whether at least one of the drivers hands is in contact with the steering wheel. If the driver removes both hands from the steering wheel, an initial visual warning is issued to engage the driver. If the driver keeps their hands off the steering wheel continuously, the ALM system escalates the visual warning level. If the driver does not assume control of the vehicle, the ALM system will further escalate efforts to engage the driver via invasive alerts (i.e. audible, visual, haptic notifications). If the driver re-engages during the warning phase, the ALM system will resume normal operation. If the driver still does not assume control of the vehicle, the ALM system enters a safety response mode; at which time, it will ramp out lateral control and return full lateral control of the vehicle to the driver. Momentary "hands off" is considered acceptable misuse. Prolonged continuous "hands off" operation of ALM is not considered acceptable misuse and will result in an escalated driver notification strategy to reengage the driver in the driving task. Failure to reengage will cause the ALM to disengage and return control of the vehicle to the driver.
