Abstract

In one or more embodiments, techniques and systems for multipath error correction are provided herein. A global positioning system (GPS) component or unit determines a position of a vehicle at different times. When the vehicle enters a tunnel, for example, the GPS unit may not provide accurate readings. In this scenario, an image capture component or lane keeping assist system can monitor for a change of lane associated with the vehicle. An error correction component can calculate an updated position for the vehicle by using the change of lane information to confirm or correct the GPS position of the vehicle, such as when the vehicle is exiting the tunnel.
