1. A virtual traffic line generation apparatus, comprising:
a controller configured to determine reliability of a traffic line detected for each frame and to generate a virtual traffic line based on a traffic line with a highest reliability among traffic lines detected in a previous frame when the traffic line is not detected; and
a storage storing the reliability of the traffic line for each frame,
wherein the controller is configured to represent the detected traffic line in a form of a quadratic function and configured to determine a degree to which the quadratic function is identical to a real traffic line as the reliability of the detected traffic line.
