Road departure mitigation system (RDM) is a technologically advanced and innovative driving assist feature. The system works similar to the lane departure system enabling drivers to keep cars within the lane but it is more advanced. The system is relatively new and has its own terms and conditions for ideal operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this guide, we will provide you with complete details about the road departure mitigation system (RDM), its working, usage and troubleshooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Road Departure Mitigation System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

RDM is a lane departure warning system that assists drivers from drifting lanes unintentionally. It works by detecting the lane markings on the road and keeping the vehicle within the lane. The information about the lane is continuously collected through cameras and sensors which is then transferred to the car computer<\/a> for autonomous handling. In the following paragraphs, we have mentioned different types of warnings and autonomous control that RDM provides. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How it Works <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A windshield-mounted camera is used to detect the road markings. The system continuously detects the car\u2019s motion contrary to the distance from the lane. If the vehicle starts moving closer to the marking unintentionally it alerts the driver. The lane departure alert appears as a dashboard warning light<\/a> with a loud beep and vibrating steering. If the steering input from the driver is lesser than required, RDM can also apply brakes for avoiding a collision. Once the system receives adequate input through steering from the driver it stops automatically.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customized Usage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The term RDM was first used by Honda, before RDM the majority of car manufacturers used a lane keeping assist system for this purpose. Honda\u2019s road departure mitigation system is a built-in feature that comes with the default settings, but it also has other options. You can customize the RDM usage at your convenience. Let\u2019s take a look at the customized options available in RDM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
