Abstract
A method for fusing sensor information detected by a host vehicle and at least one remote vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication equipped vehicle includes collecting visual data from an optical sensor of a vision sub-system, and collecting V2V data from remote vehicles. The method further includes executing a control logic including a first control logic for generating a base lane model and a base confidence level, a second control logic that fuses together the V2V data, the base lane model, and the base confidence level, and a third control logic that generates from the fused lane model, the V2V data, the base lane model, and the base confidence level, a final lane model and final confidence level, and assigns a priority to the final lane model.
