Reading the road view
What the colours, warnings and status readouts mean.
Live View draws your lane, the vehicles ahead and the people near the road, each with an approximate distance band: under 5 m, 5–10 m, 10–20 m, or 20 m and beyond. Distances are estimates from a single camera, not measurements.
Every colour means one thing
- Cyan — system working normally
- Amber — caution, and lane guidance
- Red — danger: an active warning
- Periwinkle — a pedestrian or other vulnerable road user
The three warnings
- Forward
- When you may be closing on the vehicle ahead in your path. It escalates from a notice to a warning to a critical warning as the gap and closing speed get worse. Vehicles only.
- Lane
- When you drift toward a lane marking. Proskopo can't see your indicator, so it may also warn during a deliberate lane change. It needs visible markings and goes quiet when it can't see them.
- Pedestrian
- People ahead get their own warning and their own colour, separate from vehicles. Small or partly hidden people are harder to detect, especially far away.
Status readouts
CONF is how sure the detector is about what it sees; VIS is how well the camera can see the road. When they read LOW or POOR — in glare, darkness, heavy rain, with a dirty lens, or with no road in view — warnings may be late or missing. A banner says why:
- Low camera confidence — check the mount, the lens, glare and the view of the road.
- Poor visibility or Low lane confidence — lane guidance pauses until markings are clearer; vehicles and people are still shown.
- Inference paused — the phone is too warm. Visualization resumes after it cools.
