Lanes and Road Signs Recognition for Driver Assistance System

Driver assistance systems become one of the most important features of the modern vehicles to ensure driver safety and decrease vehicles accidents on roads. According to their type and functionality, they intervene in different levels of the control processes involved in driving. In this paper, multitasks driver assistance system has been proposed. First, the system provides the driver with real time information from lanes markers and road signs, which consist the most important and challenging tasks. Secondly, generate an acoustic warning to the driver in advance of any danger. This warning then allows the driver to take appropriate corrective actions in order to mitigate or completely avoid the event. The proposed system was tested on real road scene captured from moving vehicle. From the experimental results, the system has demonstrated a robust performance for detecting the road lanes and signs under different conditions.
