## Abstract

A server, a personal mobility communicating with the server and a vehicle are provided. The server includes a transceiver that communicates with vehicles and a plurality of personal mobility. A controller sets a geo-fence area based on a size information of the vehicles and a size information of the plurality of personal mobility during cluster driving. The controller determines driving positions of the vehicles as primary in the set geo-fence area based on the size information of the vehicles, determines driving positions of the plurality of personal mobility as secondary in the set geo-fence area based on the size information of the plurality of personal mobility and adjusts layout information for the driving positions determined as the primary and the secondary to be transmitted to the vehicles and the plurality of personal mobility.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A personal mobility, comprising:
a transceiver configured to communicate with a server;
a motor configured to rotate a wheel; and
a controller configured to operate the motor to move to a driving position determined by the server based on layout information and driving location information received from the server when performing a clustering mode and operate the motor to travel to a destination while maintaining the driving position based on route information,
wherein when performing the clustering mode, the controller is configured to transmit area size information of a safety area of the personal mobility to the server to set a geo-fence area,
wherein the area size information of the safety area includes a size of the personal mobility and a braking distance of the personal mobility, and
wherein the safety area of the personal mobility is smaller as the braking distance is shorter.

### Claim 2

A vehicle, comprising:
a transceiver configured to communicate with a server;
a power plant configured to drive a plurality of wheels; and
a controller configured to operate the power plant to move to a driving position determined by the server based on layout information and driving location information received from the server when performing a clustering mode and operate the power plant to travel to a destination while maintaining the driving position based on route information,
wherein when performing the clustering mode, the controller is configured to transmit area size information of a safety area of the vehicle to the server to set a geo-fence area,
wherein the area size information of the safety area includes a size of the vehicle and a braking distance of the vehicle, and
wherein the safety area of the vehicle is smaller as the braking distance is shorter.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The vehicle according to claim 2, further comprising:
an image acquisition device configured to obtain a road image; and
an obstacle detector configured to detect an obstacle, and
wherein the controller is configured to detect a driving position based on the obtained road image and obstacle information for the detected obstacle and detect a personal mobility and other vehicles performing cluster driving.
