A vehicle control system includes a controller that may receive location data points indicative of locations of a vehicle as measured by a location sensor. This controller may determine a distribution of the location data points and identify one or more of a route or a lane of a route in which the vehicle is disposed by comparing the distribution of the location data points to one or more characteristics of the one or more of the route or the lane of the route.
