Abstract
A vehicle includes: a processor configured to calculate a direction in which the vehicle is to move in order to overtake a preceding vehicle and calculate a distance to the preceding vehicle when it is determined that the preceding vehicle is travelling abnormally; a distance sensor configured to recognize a lane located in the calculated direction in which the vehicle is to move based on the calculated distance to the preceding vehicle; and a driving apparatus configured to control driving of the vehicle in a manner which keeps the vehicle at or near the calculated distance to the preceding vehicle.
Claims14
A vehicle comprising:
- a processor configured to calculate a direction in which the vehicle is to move in order to overtake a preceding vehicle and calculate a distance to the preceding vehicle when it is determined that the preceding vehicle is travelling abnormally;
- a distance sensor configured to recognize a lane located in the calculated direction in which the vehicle is to move based on the calculated distance to the preceding vehicle;
- and
- a driving apparatus being an engine or a motor configured to control driving of the vehicle in a manner which keeps the vehicle at or near the calculated distance to the preceding vehicle,
- wherein the processor is further configured to calculate a movement distance of the vehicle when a time until the vehicle collides with a rear vehicle traveling on the lane located in the calculated direction is greater than or equal to a predetermined time, and
- wherein the processor is further configured to calculate the distance to the preceding vehicle when the time until the vehicle collides with the rear vehicle traveling on the lane located in the calculated direction is less than a predetermined time.

A vehicle comprising:
- a processor configured to calculate a direction in which the vehicle is to move in order to overtake a preceding vehicle and calculate a movement distance of the vehicle in the calculated direction in a lane on which the vehicle is currently travelling when it is determined that the preceding vehicle travels abnormally;
- a distance sensor configured to recognize a lane located in the calculated direction in which the vehicle is to move based on the calculated movement distance of the vehicle;
- and
- a driving apparatus being an engine or a motor configured to control driving of the vehicle according to the calculated movement distance,
- wherein the processor is further configured to calculate the movement distance of the vehicle when a time until the vehicle collides with a rear vehicle traveling on the lane located in the calculated direction is greater than or equal to a predetermined time.

A method of controlling a vehicle, comprising:
- calculating, by a processor, a direction in which the vehicle is to move in order to overtake a preceding vehicle when it is determined that the preceding vehicle is travelling abnormally;
- calculating, by the processor, a distance to the preceding vehicle when it is determined that the preceding vehicle is travelling abnormally;
- recognizing, by a distance sensor, a lane located in the calculated direction in which the vehicle is to move based on the calculated distance to the preceding vehicle;
- and
- controlling, by a driving apparatus, driving of the vehicle in a manner which keeps the vehicle at or near the calculated distance to the preceding vehicle,
- wherein calculating the distance to the preceding vehicle comprises:
- calculating a time until the vehicle collides with a rear vehicle traveling on the lane located in the calculated direction;
- calculating the distance to the preceding vehicle when the calculated time is shorter than a predetermined time;
- calculating a movement distance of the vehicle in the decided direction in a lane on which the vehicle is currently travelling when the calculated time is greater than or equal to the predetermined time;
- and
- recognizing, by the distance sensor, the lane located in the calculated direction in which the vehicle is to move based further on the calculated movement distance.
