Abstract
A method for detecting at least one intersection point of road marking lines, wherein a computing unit of a transportation vehicle receives a camera image and identifies a first road marking line based on the camera image. Using the computing unit, a search region is automatically defined in an environment of the first road marking line, and an automatic search limited to the search region is performed. At least one intersection point of the first road marking line with at least a second road marking line is identified as the result of the search.
