Abstract
Control system, which is adapted and determined for use in a motor vehicle to identify road boundaries and/or road markings based on environmental data obtained by at least one environmental sensor associated with the motor vehicle. The at least one environmental sensor is adapted to provide the environmental data, which reproduces the area in front of the motor vehicle, to an electronic control of the control system. The control system is at least adapted and determined to capture road boundaries and/or road markings with the at least one environmental sensor. A respective trajectory is determined from the captured road boundaries and/or road markings. Pairs are formed from the determined trajectories, wherein a pair comprises two trajectories respectively. Sampling points are determined at predetermined distances for each pair of first and second trajectories. Distances perpendicular to a course of the first trajectory are determined from the determined sampling points to the second trajectory and a length of a section is calculated along the course of the first trajectory, for which length the determined distances are within a predetermined value range, and/or distances perpendi…
