Abstract
Disclosed are collision preventing apparatuses and methods for a vehicle. The collision preventing apparatus estimate whether objects located in a vicinity of the vehicle may collide with each other based on data collected from a sensor in the vehicle, determine a trajectory of each of the objects, verify whether the estimated trajectories intersect, determine that the objects may collide with each other in response to the estimated trajectories overlapping, inform each of the objects of a collision risk when the objects may collide with each other, and differently perform an operation of informing the objects of the collision risk based on a collision level of each of the objects.
Claims20
A method of preventing a collision, the method comprising:
- tracking plural objects located in a vicinity of a vehicle based on data collected from a sensor in the vehicle;
- determining respective trajectories of the plural objects;
- verifying a collision level of collision between the plural objects based on the determined respective trajectories;
- and
- performing a collision prevention operation based on the collision level.
A collision preventing apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to
- track plural objects located in a vicinity of a vehicle based on data collected from a sensor in the vehicle,
- determine respective trajectories of the plural objects,
- verify a collision level of collision between the plural objects based on the determined respective trajectories, and
- perform a collision prevention operation based on the collision level.
A method of preventing a collision, the method comprising:
- obtaining locations, at different times, of plural objects located in a vicinity of a vehicle from a sensor in the vehicle;
- determining trajectories of the plural objects based on the obtained locations of the plural objects;
- determining a collision risk for collision between the plural objects by verifying whether at least two of the trajectories intersect;
- determining a time to collision (TTC) of each of the plural objects, in response to the at least two trajectories intersecting;
- and
- informing the plural objects of the collision risk based on the determined TTC.
