Automatic vehicle guidance system (lateral control system) is one of the most promising techniques to the IVHS (intelligent vehicle highway system). Advantages of the technologies are roadway capacity increase and safety and reliability by releaving human streering. The key portions of the system are reference marker and onboard sensing mechanisms identifying the vehicle positional offset form the desired track, ie roadway center line. Technology development trend leading to the current state-of-the-art method is reviewed and compared.
