Functions of MFC

Front View Camera supports the following functions using the information (lane, light source, vehicle and pedestrian) detected by the front camera and the vehicle's signal information (CAN communication).

1. Lane Keeping Assist (LKA): If it is judged that the vehicle leaves the road during driving, the driver is warned of the danger and the steering is controlled in order to prevent the accident. The LKA provides visual/audible warning to the driver if it is determined that the lane departs from the lane in consideration of the lane and road boundary information recognized by the front view camera and whether or not the turn signal lamp operates.

   However, the front view camera may not operate normally in the limit situation where the lane and road boundaries can not be recognized.

2. High Beam Assist (HBA): High Beam Assist (HBA) controls the operation of the high beam in order to maximize the front visual range while minimizing casting the glare on other drivers at night and under low light conditions. The system uses the front camera to detect whether there is any light source from the front or oncoming vehicle or street light. The system turns off the high beam if there is a light source and turns on the high beam if there is no light source. However, when the front camera is unable to detect the surrounding situation, the system may not operate normally.
3. Forward Collision Warning (FCW): Forward Collision Warning (FCW) warns the driver and controls the vehicle's brake/steering in order to avoid forward crash with an obstacle while driving. In order to allow operation of the system, the MFC transmits the detected information about the front vehicle and pedestrian to the front radar using CAN communication.
