A method for tracking a target vehicle through a curve in a roadway is disclosed. The method includes measuring an azimuth angle between the target vehicle 12 and a host vehicle 10, calculating a relative velocity between the target vehicle and the host vehicle, developing a theoretical relationship, wherein the relationship is a function of the measured azimuth angle and the measured relative velocity, and comparing the developed theoretical relationship with measured relationship between the azimuth angle and the relative velocity. Further, the target vehicle 12 is determined to be in the same lane or path of the host vehicle 10 by evaluating how well the developed theoretical relationship fits the with the measured azimuth angle and calculated relative velocity. |
