Speed limit detection with No


Passing Information


The concept

Speed limit detection

Speed limit detection uses a symbol in the
shape of a traffic sign to display the currently
detected speed limit. The camera at the base of
the interior rearview mirror detects traffic signs
at the edge of the road as well as variable over‐
head sign posts. Traffic signs with extra symbols
for wet road conditions, etc. are also detected
and compared with vehicle interior data, such as
for the rain sensor, and are displayed depending
on the situation. The system takes into account
the information stored in the navigation system
and also displays speed limits present on routes
without signs.


No Passing Information

No Passing Information in the instrument cluster
displays the beginnings and ends of no passing
zones detected by the camera. The system ac‐
counts for only the beginnings and ends of No
Passing zones marked by signs.


No display is shown:


▷ In countries where No Passing zones are
primarily identified with road markings.


▷ On routes without signage.


▷ Where there are railroad crossings, highway
markings or other situations where no sig‐
nage is present, but passing would not be
permitted.


Hints

Speed limits when towing a trailer are not
shown.


Personal judgment
The system cannot serve as a substitute
for the driver's personal judgment of the traffic
situation.
The system assists the driver and does not re‐
place the human eye.◀
