Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a vehicle control device provided in a vehicle and a method for controlling the vehicle. A vehicle control device provided in a vehicle according to the present disclosure, as a vehicle control device for controlling the vehicle, may include a communication unit configured to receive a map having a plurality of layers from a server; and a processor configured to generate a control signal for driving the vehicle using the map, wherein a control region that is a reference for the generation of the control signal around a location of the vehicle is defined differently according to a preset reference.
Claims20
A vehicle control device for a vehicle, the vehicle control device comprising:
- a vehicle communication apparatus disposed in the vehicle and configured to obtain, from a server, a map having a plurality of layers;
- one or more processors;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to the one or more processors having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining, through the vehicle communication apparatus, the map having the plurality of layers;
- defining a control region around a location of the vehicle;
- modifying the control region according to one or more preset criteria;
- and
- generating a control signal for driving of the vehicle based on data associated with a portion of the obtained map corresponding to the control region,
- wherein modifying the control region comprises:
- searching for a plurality of lanes of a road on which the vehicle is driven,
- selecting one or more lanes among the plurality of lanes based on the preset criteria, and
- modifying the control region to include the selected one or more lanes and to exclude one or more unselected lanes among the plurality of lanes.
A method of controlling a vehicle that includes a vehicle communication apparatus disposed in the vehicle and one or more processors configured to control the vehicle, the method comprising:
- obtaining, from a server through the vehicle communication apparatus, a map having a plurality of layers;
- defining a control region around a location of the vehicle;
- modifying the control region according to one or more preset criteria;
- and
- generating a control signal for driving of the vehicle based on data associated with a portion of the obtained map corresponding to the control region,
- wherein modifying the control region comprises:
- searching for a plurality of lanes of a road on which the vehicle is driven,
- selecting one or more lanes among the plurality of lanes based on the preset criteria, and
