Road geometry perception indicates road direction and drivable area for Lane Keeping System and Lane Departure Warning System in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems or routing and decision‐making in Autonomous Driving. High‐definition map with accurate positioning or lane information is generally required. However, these two types of information are not always available because of positioning failure or lane mark degradation. In this paper, a road geometry estimation method is proposed without requirement of accurate positioning and lane information. Due to the fact the lane guides the front vehicle, the potential correlation between the relative azimuth of front vehicle and the direction of road is explored. The stable and observable information of front vehicles are exploited, such as the license plate location. A radar‐camera fusion system using image processing, and a nonlinear system is then built with Unscented Kalman Filter to estimate the road curvature. Simulation results with Carla demonstrate that the method enhances the road geometry perception by 77.1%, compared with the baseline method. The proposed method can provide reliable road geometry information for autonomous driving when accurate positioning and lane information are unavailable, so that it renders more robust and safer perception for future autonomous driving.
