Lane detection

Abstract

A lane detection method and a lane detection system mounted on a first vehicle are provided. The methods includes: calculating on which lane a first vehicle is located based on vehicle-to-vehicle data received by the first vehicle from at least one neighboring vehicle, where the neighboring vehicle means another vehicle located within a vehicle-to-vehicle communication range of the first vehicle. The system may include: a communication device for receiving vehicle-to-vehicle data from at least one neighboring vehicle, and a processing device for calculating on which lane the first vehicle is located based on the vehicle-to-vehicle data received by the communication device, where the neighboring vehicle means another vehicle located within a vehicle-to-vehicle communication range of the first vehicle. Lane detection may not rely on marks on roads which are inherently not clear or blur due to a bad weather.
