Abstract
A lane marking crossing warning system for a vehicle includes a sensor arrangement arranged to detect at least one lane marking line that defines a corresponding lane boundary, a control unit arranged to determine if the vehicle has entered a curve, and a warning device arranged to issue a warning. When the control unit has determined that the vehicle has entered a curve, the control unit is arranged to determine if an imaginary sensor line running a certain distance from the lane marking line has been crossed by the vehicle. If that is the case, the control unit is arranged to determine that a warning is to be issued by the warning device.
