  • Method for determining the course of the road for a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 10776634
    Abstract: A method for determining the course of the road for a moving motor vehicle having a surroundings sensor system. Sensor data generated by the surroundings sensor system are evaluated to detect lane-relevant features. A lane model having at least one lane model parameter that determines the course of the lane is generated for the road, structures of at least one distance range that are parallel to the road are detected in the sensor data, the tangential direction of at least the one structure that is parallel to the road is determined, and the value of the tangential direction of the structure that is parallel to the road is adopted as the value of the direction of the tangent line at the point of contact with the structure that is parallel to the road to determine at least the one lane model parameter by predictive estimation in the lane model.
