SOURCED LATERAL OFFSET FOR ADAS OR AD FEATURES

The present disclosure relates to methods and control devices for providing a road model of a portion of a surrounding environment of a vehicle. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to utilizing stored reference data in the form of a lateral offset of a road reference (e.g. lane marker) in relation to a road boundary in order to either verify a local measurement of the lateral offset or to control a driver-assistance or autonomous driving feature based on the stored reference data. The present disclosure also relates to a method for providing verification data for road model estimations.
