Claim Text:
1. A lane centering data fusion system comprising: a primary controller determining whether a vehicle is centered within a lane of travel, the primary controller operating as a performance controller that is computationally intensive, the primary controller including a primary lane fusion unit for fusing lane sensed data for identifying a lane center position; a secondary controller determining whether a vehicle is centered within a lane of travel, the secondary controller operating as a high assurance controller that is less computationally intensive relative to the primary controller, the secondary controller including a secondary lane fusion unit for fusing lane sensed data for identifying the lane center position, wherein the primary controller and secondary controller are asynchronous controllers; a lane centering control unit maintaining the vehicle centered within the lane of travel, the lane centering control unit utilizing fusion data output from the primary controller for maintaining lane centering control, and the lane centering control unit utilizing fusion data output from the secondary controller in response to a detection of a fault with respect to the primary controller.
