In this paper, we propose sensing-assisted beamforming designs for vehicles on arbitrarily shaped roads by relying on integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) signalling. Specifically, we aim to address the limitations of conventional ISAC beam-tracking schemes that do not apply to complex road geometries. To improve the tracking accuracy and communication quality of service (QoS) in vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) networks, it is essential to model the complicated roadway geometry. To that end, we impose the curvilinear coordinate system (CCS) in an interacting multiple model extended Kalman filter (IMM-EKF) framework. By doing so, both the position and the motion of the vehicle on a complicated road can be explicitly modeled and precisely tracked attributing to the benefits from the CCS. Furthermore, an optimization problem is formulated to maximize the array gain by dynamically adjusting the array size and thereby controlling the beamwidth, which takes the performance loss caused by beam misalignment into account. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the roadway geometry-aware ISAC beamforming approach outperforms the communication-only-based and ISAC kinematic-only-based technique in tracking performance. Moreover, the effectiveness of the dynamic beamwidth design is also verified by our numerical results.
