Abstract
A vehicle control apparatus may include: a profile generator that generates at least one speed profile including a hysteresis section, in which deceleration and acceleration due to coasting of a vehicle are repeated, based on an environmental condition of the vehicle; a profile selector that selects a speed profile, which satisfies a predetermined condition, from among the at least one speed profile; and a controller that controls a speed of the vehicle depending on the speed profile selected by the profile selector.
Claims20
A vehicle control apparatus comprising:
- a profile generator configured to generate at least one speed profile including a hysteresis section, in which deceleration and acceleration due to coasting of a vehicle are repeated, based on an environmental condition of the vehicle;
- a profile selector configured to select a speed profile, which satisfies a predetermined condition, from among the at least one speed profile;
- and
- a controller configured to control a speed of the vehicle depending on the speed profile selected by the profile selector,
- wherein the controller performs speed control including the coasting during a specific time when information about a forward situation for an autonomous driving of the vehicle is insufficient.
A vehicle system comprising:
- a sensor configured to detect an object around a vehicle;
- an information acquisition device configured to obtain map information and a location of the vehicle;
- and
- a vehicle control apparatus configured to control a speed of the vehicle depending on a speed profile, which is selected to satisfy a predetermined condition, from among at least one speed profile generated to include a hysteresis section in which acceleration and deceleration due to coasting of the vehicle are repeated, based on an environmental condition of the vehicle,
- wherein a vehicle control apparatus performs speed control including the coasting during a specific time when information about a forward situation for an autonomous driving of the vehicle is insufficient.
A method of controlling a vehicle, the method comprising:
- generating at least one speed profile including a hysteresis section, in which deceleration and acceleration due to coasting of the vehicle are repeated, based on an environmental condition of the vehicle;
- selecting a speed profile, which satisfies a predetermined condition, from among the at least one speed profile;
- controlling a speed of the vehicle depending on the selected speed profile;
- and
- performing speed control including the coasting during a specific time when information about a forward situation for an autonomous driving of the vehicle is insufficient.
