Road signs detection sys-
tem
Introduction
1)
The dynamic road signs display records stand-
ard road signs using a camera located in the
central upper area of the windscreen, housed
in the compartment located on the base of
the interior mirror. It provides information about
speed limits and overtaking prohibitions.
Within its limitations, the system also displays
a additional sign to indicate aspects such as
temporary prohibitions. Even on routes without
signs, the system can, if necessary, display the
applicable speed limits.
Road sign recognition does not work in all
countries. Keep this in mind when travelling
abroad.
The dynamic road sign display system is acti-
vated whenever the ignition is switched on.
Shown on the display
Fig.8 On the instrument cluster display:
examples of recognised speed limits or
overtaking prohibitions with their respective
additional signs.
In Germany, on motorways and normal roads
for vehicles, besides speed limits and overtak-
ing provisions the system also displays end of
restriction signs. In all other countries the cur-
rently valid speed limit is displayed instead.
The road signs detected by the system are
displayed on the instrument cluster display
›››Fig.8 and, depending on the navigation
system fitted in the vehicle, in the infotainment
system as well .
Display of road signs
After checking and evaluating the information
from the camera, the navigation system and
the current vehicle data, the system displays
up to three current road signs with their addi-
tional signs.
●
First: The sign that is currently valid for the
driver is shown on the left side of the display.
For example, a maximum speed limit of 130
km/h (100mph) .
●
Second: A sign valid only in certain circum-
stances, e.g.100 km/h (60mph) is shown sec-
ond, together with the additional rain sign.
●
Additional sign: Displays the circumstances
(rain, times of day, fog, etc.) under which the
displayed speed limit is in force.
●
Third: Thirdly, a sign prohibiting overtaking
is partially displayed. If there is no conditional
speed limit and overtaking is prohibited, the lat-
ter sign will be displayed in second place .
