VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE AND METHOD

A vehicle control device is provided. The vehicle control device may determine, based on object recognition information received from a sensor of a vehicle, first traffic lane marking information; and determine, based on map information received from a navigation system of the vehicle, second traffic lane marking information; and generate combined traffic lane marking information of the vehicle by comparing the first traffic lane marking information with the second traffic lane marking information. The combined traffic lane marking information may indicate at least one unmatched traffic lane marking for which the first traffic lane marking information and the second traffic lane marking information do not match. The vehicle control device may further control, based on the combined traffic lane marking information, a driving operation of the vehicle.
