Abstract

Provided are methods and control units for building a database and for predicting a route of a vehicle, and estimating length of the predicted route. The method comprises determining geographical position of the vehicle; detecting a cell border of a cell in a grid-based representation of a landscape, in a database, corresponding to the geographical position; determining that the vehicle is entering the cell at the cell border; extracting a stored driving direction at the cell border from the database; detecting a cell border of a neighbor cell, in the driving direction at the cell border; repeating step and; predicting the route of the vehicle; and estimating the length of the predicted route by adding an estimated distance through each cell of the predicted route.
