20130329651 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING POWER FOR V2X COMMUNICATION - A technique for controlling power for V2X communication is provided. The apparatus includes a reception message analysis process configured to analyze headers of reception messages received from communication apparatuses of roadside apparatuses and surrounding vehicles located around a vehicle, a message loss checking process configured to check whether or not loss of the reception messages occurs by counting sequential numbers included in the headers of the reception messages, a density analysis process configured to analyze a density for each of communication apparatuses located in a communication radius of preset transmission power from the vehicle when the message loss checking process determines that the loss of the reception messages occurs, and a transmission power determination process configured to determine transmission power for V2X communication by deducting the preset transmission power in units of reference power according to the density when the density around the vehicle exceeds a reference value. | 12-12-2013 |
20140088814 | DRIVING CONTROL EXCHANGING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE - Disclosed herein is a driving control exchanging method for an autonomous vehicle by which a driving control may be easily exchanged between a driver and an autonomous vehicle, acquisition of a driving control by a child or a person who cannot drive is prevented, and the relative laws can be complied, making it possible to safely and conveniently manage the autonomous vehicle. | 03-27-2014 |
20140111369 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RECOGNIZING SPACE OF SHOULDER OF ROAD - Disclosed herein are a method and a system for recognizing a space of a road shoulder using an ultrasonic wave sensor, a radar and an imaging device. The method includes: controlling the radar to transmit a radar beam within a preset range based on the vehicle location; detecting a fixed object located within the preset range using a reflective wave of the radar beam received by the radar; calculating a distance between the fixed object and the vehicle using the radar when the fixed object is located within the preset range; detecting a solid line lane marking in a front image of a travel lane obtained from the imaging device; and recognizing the calculated distance between the fixed object and the vehicle as a space width of the road shoulder when the solid line lane is in the front image of the travel lane. | 04-24-2014 |
20140118182 | LANE RECOGNITION METHOD AND SYSTEM - Disclosed herein is a method of recognizing the location of a current lane in which a vehicle is traveling, using a radar and an imaging device. The method includes: detecting the locations of the fixed objects using an object detector; capturing a photograph of the road surface ahead using an imaging device; calculating, by a controller, the entire width of a traveling road based on the locations of the fixed objects at the left side and the right side; calculating, by the controller the width of a traveling lane from the photograph of the road surface; and calculating, by the controller, the lane in which the vehicle is traveling based on the calculated width of the traveling lane and the entire width of the traveling road. | 05-01-2014 |
20140188322 | DRIVING MODE CHANGING METHOD AND APPARATUS OF AUTONOMOUS NAVIGATION VEHICLE - A driving mode changing method and apparatus of an autonomous navigation vehicle that allows a driver to stably operate the autonomous navigation vehicle. The autonomous navigation vehicle may be stably operated by mounting an apparatus (a touch pad, a joystick, or the like) to operate the autonomous navigation vehicle on seats (a passenger seat and a rear seat) other than a driver seat of the autonomous navigation vehicle and providing various information (a near around view, a far around view, a critical level, vehicle information, and the like) to drive the autonomous navigation vehicle. | 07-03-2014 |
20140365109 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR RECOGNIZING DRIVING LANE - An apparatus and a method for recognizing a driving lane are provided and include a processor that is configured to detect driving environment information acquired by a plurality of driving environment information collecting devices installed within a vehicle. In addition, the processor is configured to determine the driving lane in which the vehicle is currently traveling by combining at least two pieces of the detected driving environment information and output the recognized driving lane information as a result of the determination. | 12-11-2014 |
20150103331 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR COMPENSATING FOR BEAM ANGLE OF MULTI-LAYER LiDAR - An apparatus for compensating for a beam angle of a multi-layer LiDAR includes: a beam angle calculation unit configured to calculate a distance d calculated by using ground data detected by a ground data detection unit and a beam angle of the multi-layer LiDAR by using a mounting height of the multi-layer LiDAR stored in a storage unit. When the beam angle calculated by a beam angle calculation unit is in a threshold range, a beam angle selection unit selects the calculated beam angle as the beam angle, when a beam angle compensation unit compensates for the initial beam angle by using the beam angle selected by the beam angle selection unit | 04-16-2015 |
20150142244 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MANAGIING FAILURE IN AUTONOMOUS NAVIGATION SYSTEM - An apparatus and method for managing failure in an autonomous navigation system are provided. The method includes collecting, by a controller, failure information in the autonomous navigation system and a monitoring a driver condition. The controller is configured to collect the failure information in the autonomous navigation system, and determine whether to switch control from the autonomous navigation vehicle to a manual driving mode based on the driver condition. | 05-21-2015 |
