Abstract
The invention provides a method for determining a course of lanes (L1, L2) of a road for a vehicle (V). A distance (D1-D3) of at least one lane boundary (B1-B3, N1-N3) of at least one lane (L1, L2) from a predetermined point of the vehicle (V) is determined (S1). Further a course of the at least one lane boundary (B1-B3, N1-N3) is predicted (S2) based on information about a course of the road obtained from a database (DB) and based on the determined distance (D1-D3).
Claims15
A method for determining a course of lanes (L1, L2) of a road for a vehicle (V), comprising the following steps:
- determining (S1) a distance (D1-D3) of at least one lane boundary (B1-B3, N1-N3) of at least one lane (L1, L2) from a predetermined point of the vehicle (V);
- and
- predicting (S2) a course of the at least one lane B boundary (B1-B3, N1-N3) based on information about a course of the road obtained from a database (DB) and based on the determined distance (D1-D3).
A driver assistance system (DAS) for a vehicle (V) for determining a course of lanes (L1, L2) of a road, comprising:
- distance determination unit (1) adapted to determine a distance (D1-D3) of at least one lane boundary (B1-B3, N1-N3) of at least one lane (L1, L2) of the road from a predetermined point of the vehicle (V),
- a processing unit (2), which is adapted to predict a course of the at least one lane boundary (B1-B3, N1-N3) based on information about a course of the road obtained from a database (DB) and based on the determined distance (D1-D3).
