US 10,647,316 B2 · Apparatus and method for deciding a maneuver of a nearby vehicle

Abstract

An apparatus and a method are capable of accurately deciding a maneuver of a surrounding vehicle. The apparatus includes a first surrounding vehicle information detector configured to obtain first surrounding vehicle information for a surrounding vehicle of a vehicle by using a front radar device. The apparatus further includes a second surrounding vehicle information detector configured to obtain second surrounding vehicle information for the surrounding vehicle by using a corner radar device. The apparatus also includes a processor configured to decide a motion of the surrounding vehicle by using the first surrounding vehicle information and the second surrounding vehicle information. The processor is also configured to decide a maneuver of the surrounding vehicle by using maneuver decision logic derived by a mechanical training technique. The processor is further configured to decide a final maneuver of the surrounding vehicle by using the two decision results.

An apparatus for deciding a maneuver of a surrounding vehicle, the apparatus comprising:

a first surrounding vehicle information detector configured to obtain first surrounding vehicle information for a first surrounding vehicle relative to a vehicle-by using a front radar device;
a second surrounding vehicle information detector configured to obtain second surrounding vehicle information for a second surrounding vehicle by using a corner radar device;
and
a processor configured to set a gate based on a location of the first surrounding vehicle, identify whether the second surrounding vehicle is located within the set gate, fuse the first surrounding vehicle information and the second surrounding vehicle information when the second surrounding vehicle is located within the set gate, decide a motion of the surrounding vehicle by using the first surrounding vehicle information and the second surrounding vehicle information, decide a maneuver of the surrounding vehicle by using maneuver decision logic derived by a machine training technique based on the fused surrounding vehicle information, and decide a final maneuver of the surrounding vehicle by using the two decision results.
