A processor using a first Kalman filter estimates a host vehicle state from speed and yaw rate, the latter of which may be from a yaw rate sensor if speed is greater than a threshold, and, if less, from a steer angle sensor and speed. Road curvature parameters are estimated from a curve fit of a host vehicle trajectory or from a second Kalman filter for which a state variable may be responsive to a plurality of host state variables. Kalman filters may incorporate adaptive sliding windows. Curvature of a most likely road type is estimated with an interacting multiple model (IMM) algorithm using models of different road types. A road curvature fusion subsystem provides for fusing road curvature estimates from a plurality of curvature estimators using either host vehicle state, a map database responsive to vehicle location, or measurements of a target vehicle with a radar system.
