An information retrieval arrangement for a host vehicle is configured to retrieve information of at least one surrounding vehicle, surrounding the host vehicle. The arrangement includes a registration plate reading arrangement configured to read registration plate information of a surrounding vehicle and an information retrieving unit configured to retrieve from a database at least one dimension of the surrounding vehicle, based on the read registration plate information. A method of retrieving information of at least one surrounding vehicle using an information retrieval arrangement is also disclosed, as well as a lane change assist arrangement including an information retrieval arrangement, and a vehicle including an information retrieval arrangement.

Information retrieval arrangement

A unit for improving positioning accuracy of an autonomous vehicle driving on a road includes a first computation unit configured to compute a first position of the vehicle at a time Tusing data from at least an inertial measurement unit (IMU); a second computation unit configured to compute a second position of the vehicle at the time Tusing data from at least one external sensor and a map; a comparison unit configured to compute a position difference between the computed first and second positions; a correction unit configured to correct an error parameter of the IMU, wherein the error parameter is used for correcting a third position of the vehicle computed by the first computation unit at a time Twith the computed position difference at time T, if the second computation unit is unable to compute a fourth position of the vehicle at the time T
