Abstract
A method for adaptive lane centering in a vehicle includes determining a lane center, a target position of the vehicle relative to the lane center, and a steering behavior parameter. The target position is changed based on the steering behavior parameter. The target position is changed faster when the changing is towards the lane center compared to when the changing is away from the lane center.
Claims17
A method for adaptive lane centering in a vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining a lane center,
- determining a target position of the vehicle relative to the lane center (20),
- determining a steering behavior parameter,
- changing the target position based on the steering behavior parameter,
- wherein changing the target position is faster when the changing is towards the lane center compared to when the changing is away from the lane center.
An apparatus for use with a lane centering system for a vehicle, the apparatus comprising a control unit configured to:
- determine a lane center;
- determine a target position of the vehicle relative to the lane center;
- determine a steering behavior parameter;
- change the target position based on the steering behavior parameter,
- wherein the target position is changed faster when the change is towards the lane center compared to when the change is away from the lane center;
- and
- output the target position as a virtual lane center for the lane centering system.
