  • Method and system for estimating a boundary of a road
    Patent number: 10480948
    Abstract: A method performed by a boundary estimation system for estimating a boundary of a road on which a vehicle is positioned and which comprises at least a first lane marking. The system monitors surroundings of the vehicle, detects one or more positions of the at least first lane marking, and approximates a geometrical representation of the at least first lane marking based on one or more of the detected positions of the at least first lane marking. The system further detects one or more positions of a road boundary of the road, approximates a relative lateral offset between the geometrical representation of the at least first lane marking and the detected road boundary, and defines a fictive outer boundary of at least a section of the road based on laterally shifting at least a section of the geometrical representation of the at least first lane marking the relative lateral offset.
