Abstract

A method of controlling a vehicle includes sensing a first boundary lane indicator and a second boundary lane indicator of an adjacent traffic lane, which is laterally offset from a current traffic lane of the vehicle. The first boundary lane indicator, the second boundary lane indicator, and/or a centerline of the adjacent traffic lane, may be transposed onto the current traffic lane of the vehicle, and used to maneuver the vehicle in order to maintain a position of the vehicle within the current traffic lane, when a left boundary lane indicator and/or a right boundary lane indicator of the current traffic lane is determined to be an unsatisfactory delineator of the current traffic lane.
