Abstract
The apparatus for assisting driving of host vehicle includes a first sensor mounted to the host vehicle and having a field of view in rear of the host vehicle, the first sensor to obtain rear image data; a second sensor selected from a group consisting of a radar sensor and a LiDAR sensor and mounted to the host vehicle, the second sensor to have a field of sensing in rear of the host vehicle and obtain rear detecting data; and a controller to process the rear image data and the rear detecting data. The controller may be determine a possibility of a collision of a rear object located at the rear of the host vehicle based on processing the rear image data and the rear detecting data, and to adjust a seat of the host vehicle to a preset position based on an expected collision of the rear object.
Claims15
An apparatus for assisting driving of a host vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- a first sensor mounted to the host vehicle and having a field of view in rear of the host vehicle, the first sensor configured to obtain rear image data;
- a second sensor selected from a group consisting of a radar sensor and a Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) sensor and mounted to the host vehicle, the second sensor configured to have a field of sensing in rear of the host vehicle and obtain rear detecting data;
- and
- a controller including a processor configured to process the rear image data and the rear detecting data,
- wherein the controller is configured to:
- based on processing the rear image data and the rear detecting data, determine a possibility of a collision of a rear object located at the rear of the host vehicle, and
- based on the collision of the rear object being expected, adjust a seat of the host vehicle to a preset position,
- wherein the controller is configured to:
- determine an expected amount of impact due to the collision of the rear object based on a speed and a size of the rear object, and
- based on the expected amount of impact being less than or equal to a preset value, adjust the seat of the host vehicle to the preset position, and
- wherein, based on the expected amount of impact being greater than the preset value, the controller is configured to:
- open a door of the host vehicle,
- separate the seat from the host vehicle, and
- escape the separated seat to the outside of the host vehicle through the opened door.
A method for assisting driving of a host vehicle, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by a sensor, rear image data and rear detecting data of the host vehicle;
- processing, by a controller, the rear image data and the rear detecting data;
- determining, by the controller, a possibility of a collision of a rear object located at the rear of the host vehicle based on processing the rear image data and the rear detecting data;
- and
- adjusting, by the controller, a seat of the host vehicle to a preset position based on the collision of the rear object being expected,
- wherein the adjusting of the seat of the host vehicle to the preset position based on the collision of the rear object being expected comprises:
- determining an expected amount of impact due to the collision of the rear object based on a speed and a size of the rear object;
- and
- adjusting the seat of the host vehicle to the preset position based on the expected amount of impact being less than or equal to a preset value, and
- wherein the adjusting the seat of the host vehicle to the preset position based on the collision of the rear object being expected further comprises:
- based on the expected amount of impact being greater than the preset value, by controller:
- opening a door of the host vehicle,
- separating the seat from the host vehicle, and
- escaping the separated seat to the outside of the host vehicle through the opened door.
An apparatus for assisting driving of a host vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of first sensors mounted to the host vehicle and having a field of view in rear of the host vehicle, the plurality of first sensors configured to obtain rear image data;
- a second sensor mounted to the host vehicle and selected from a group consisting of a radar sensor, a Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) sensor and an ultrasonic sensor, the second sensor configured to have a field of sensing in rear of the host vehicle and obtain rear detecting data;
- and
- a controller including a processor configured to process the rear image data,
- wherein the controller is configured to:
- based on processing the rear image data, determine a possibility of a collision of a rear object located at the rear of the host vehicle, and
- based on the collision of the rear object being expected, adjust a seat of the host vehicle to a preset position,
- wherein the processor is configured to process the rear detecting data, and the controller is configured to,
- based on processing the rear image data and the rear detecting data, determine the possibility of the collision of the rear object,
- determine an expected amount of impact due to the collision of the rear object based on a speed and a size of the rear object, and
- wherein, based on the expected amount of impact being greater than a preset value, the controller is configured to:
- open a door of the host vehicle,
- separate the seat from the host vehicle, and
- escape the separated seat to the outside of the host vehicle through the opened door.
