Abstract
A lamp system for traffic lane indication using a navigation link may include a multi-function sensor sensing an environment and a line in front of a host vehicle, a line lamp generating and outputting a prediction line at a location corresponding to a line of a road, a navigation device providing location information of the host vehicle, and a vehicle controller predicting a forward line based on a line sensed by the multi-function sensor, and the location information of the host vehicle provided by the navigation device and controlling the line lamp to output the prediction line to follow the predicted forward line.
Claims17
A lamp system for traffic lane indication using a navigation link, the lamp system comprising:
- a multi-function sensor configured to sense an environment and a line on road surface in front of a host vehicle;
- a line lamp configured to generate and output a prediction line at a location corresponding to the line of the road surface;
- a navigation device configured to provide location information of the host vehicle;
- and
- a vehicle controller configured to:
- predict a forward line based on the line sensed by the multi-function sensor and the location information of the host vehicle provided by the navigation device;
- control the line lamp to output the prediction line to follow the predicted forward line;
- analyze the location information of the host vehicle after capturing the prediction line through the multi-function sensor;
- and
- display the prediction line and a location of the host vehicle on a display of the host vehicle,
- wherein the vehicle controller controls the line lamp not to output the prediction line when there is another vehicle that is moving in an opposite direction than a direction in which the host vehicle is moving, or when there is another vehicle that is in front of the host vehicle and is moving in a same direction in which the host vehicle is moving.
A method for traffic lane indication by a lamp system of a host vehicle for traffic lane indication using a navigation link, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a vehicle controller of the host vehicle, forward line information through a multi-function sensor sensing an environment and a line on a road surface in front of the host vehicle;
- receiving, by the vehicle controller, location information of the host vehicle through a navigation device;
- predicting, by the vehicle controller, a forward line based on a line sensed by the multi-function sensor and the location information of the host vehicle provided by the navigation device;
- controlling, by the vehicle controller, a line lamp to output a prediction line to follow the predicted forward line,
- analyzing, by the vehicle controller, the location information of the host vehicle after capturing the prediction line through the multi-function sensor;
- and
- displaying, by the vehicle controller, the prediction line and a location of the host vehicle on a display of the host vehicle,
- wherein the controlling of the line lamp includes:
- controlling only the line lamp not to output the prediction line when there is another vehicle that is moving in an opposite direction than a direction in which the host vehicle is moving, or when there is another vehicle that is in front of the host vehicle and is moving in a same direction in which the host vehicle is moving.
A lamp system for providing an optimal vehicle path indication, the lamp system comprising:
- a multi-function sensor to sense an environment and a path on road surface directly in front of a host vehicle on which the host path is set to travel on;
- a line lamp to generate and output a prediction line at a location corresponding to the path on the road surface;
- a location information device to provide location information of the host vehicle;
- and
- a vehicle controller configured to:
- predict a forward line based on the line sensed by the multi-function sensor and the location information of the host vehicle provided by the location information device;
- control the line lamp to output the prediction line to follow the predicted forward line,
- analyze the location information of the host vehicle after capturing the prediction line through the multi-function sensor;
- and
- display the prediction line and a location of the host vehicle on a display of the host vehicle,
- wherein the vehicle controller controls the line lamp not to output the prediction line when there is another vehicle that is moving in an opposite direction than a direction in which the host vehicle is moving, or when there is another vehicle in front of the host vehicle that is Moving in a same direction in which the host vehicle is moving.
