Abstract: A pre-dipping carbon fiber cloth structure includes a first carbon fiber layer (10) arranged in a regular manner, a second carbon fiber layer (20) combined with the first carbon fiber layer and arranged in an irregular manner and an epoxy resin (11) bonded between the first carbon fiber layer and the second carbon fiber layer. The first carbon fiber layer consists of a plurality of elongate carbon fiber plates (100) which are arranged in a regular manner, and the second carbon fiber layer consists of a plurality of carbon fiber strips (200) which are arranged in an irregular manner. Thus, the first carbon fiber layer and the second carbon fiber layer have the same physical features so that the pre-dipping carbon fiber cloth structure has a better conductance.

Abstract: The present method first provides an image capturing device so that the image obtained by the image capturing device contains only dark-colored road paving and a light-colored lane marker appearing in the left or right portion of the image. The present method then determines the distribution of the light-colored pixels in each consecutive image captured. When the distribution of the light-colored pixels is shifted towards the other side of the images, the motor vehicle is assumed to be deviating from its current traveling lane. When the distribution of the light-colored pixels conforms to a terminal condition, the present method provides at least an audible alarm such as a siren or a pre-recorded voice message to alert the driver.
