Abstract
A travel lane detection method detects travel lane boundaries according to a plurality of travel lane characteristic points detected by a target detection sensor installed in a vehicle. When a lane change of the vehicle is detected, the method determines continuity of the travel lane characteristic points detected before the lane change is completed with respect to the travel lane characteristic points detected after the lane change is completed while taking account of a lane change amount so as to detect the travel lane boundaries according to the continuity of the travel lane characteristic points.
