Abstract

A lane-control system suitable for use on an automated vehicle comprising a camera, a lidar-sensor, and a controller. The camera captures an image of a roadway traveled by a host-vehicle. The lidar-sensor detects a discontinuity in the roadway. The controller is in communication with the camera and the lidar-sensor and defines an area-of-interest within the image, constructs a road-model of the roadway based on the area-of-interest, determines that the host-vehicle is approaching the discontinuity, and adjusts the area-of-interest within the image based on the discontinuity.

Claims (10)

1. A lane-control system suitable for use on an automated vehicle, said system comprising:

a camera used to capture an image of a roadway traveled by a host-vehicle;

a lidar-sensor used to detect a discontinuity in the roadway; and

a controller in communication with the camera and the lidar-sensor, wherein the controller defines an area-of-interest within the image,

constructs a road-model of the roadway based on the area-of-interest,

determines that the host-vehicle is approaching the discontinuity, and

adjusts the area-of-interest within the image based on the discontinuity.

2. The system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the controller further controls the host-vehicle based on the road-model.

3. The system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the controller adjusts the area-of-interest to align with a previous-area-of-interest.

4. The system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the controller adjusts the area-of-interest based on a dynamic-model of the host-vehicle.
