DRIVING PROFILE ESTIMATION IN AN ENVIRONMENT MODEL

A method for creating a road model for planning a trajectory of an ego vehicle, includes capturing a vehicle environment with at least one environment capturing sensor. Objects are detected in the vehicle environment. The method includes producing a grid map with a plurality of grid cells and entering the detections into the grid map wherein the detections are enlarged prior to being entered. The method also includes determining at least one path through the grid map which consists only of vacant grid cells. The at least one path is gradually scanned, wherein detections are determined orthogonally to a scanning direction of the path on both sides. The method further includes assigning the detections along the at least one path to road boundaries and creating the road model based on the previously determined information.
