Method and apparatus for performing platooning of the moving object

A moving object for performing autonomous driving based on platooning, the moving object comprising:

• a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal;
• and
• a processor configured to control the transceiver, wherein the processor is configured to:
• set a moving path;
• determine whether platooning of the moving object is allowed;
• transmit moving path information to a first intelligent transportation system infrastructure when the moving object approaches a preset range of the first intelligent transportation system infrastructure;
• receive platooning information from the first intelligent transportation system infrastructure;
• and
• perform platooning based on the platooning information,
• wherein the first intelligent transportation system infrastructure is configured to receive moving path information from a plurality of moving objects passing through the first intelligent transportation system infrastructure and group those moving objects capable of platooning from among the plurality of moving objects based on acceleration performance on slope, satisfaction information of a user using the moving object for the platooning, and operation characteristics of driver corresponding to each of the moving objects and the moving path information received from each of the plurality of moving objects;
• wherein the first intelligent transportation system infrastructure sets a time duration in which the moving path information is received;
• and performs a platooning grouping based on the moving objects which have transmitted the moving path information within the time duration,
• wherein the time duration is differently set based on a driving speed of the moving object within a preset distance range of the first intelligent transportation system infrastructure;
• wherein the satisfaction information is information that indicates a level of satisfaction with the platooning input by the user;
• and
• wherein the first intelligent transportation system infrastructure is configured to group those moving objects capable of platooning from among the plurality of moving objects based by:
• excluding the moving object representing dissatisfaction from a preliminary platooning group when the satisfaction information indicates the dissatisfaction with platooning, and
• keeping the moving object representing satisfaction in the preliminary platooning group when the satisfaction information indicates the satisfaction with platooning.

A method of controlling a moving object for performing autonomous driving by an intelligent transportation system infrastructure based on platooning, the method comprising:

• receiving moving path information from a plurality of moving objects approaching within a preset range;
• checking a group of the plurality of moving objects capable of platooning based on the received moving path information;
• and
• transmitting platooning information of the group of the plurality of moving objects capable of platooning, wherein the plurality of moving objects capable of platooning travel is based on platooning information of the intelligent transportation system infrastructure so that platooning is performed based on the platooning information,
• wherein the method further comprises setting a preliminary platooning group capable of platooning from among the plurality of moving objects based on the received moving path information and setting a platooning group in consideration of traveling characteristics and satisfaction information of user using the moving object for platooning in the preliminary platooning group and operation characteristics of driver corresponding to each of the moving objects in the preliminary platooning group;
• wherein the intelligent transportation system infrastructure sets a time duration in which the moving path information is received;
• and performs the platooning grouping based on the moving objects which have transmitted the moving path information within the time duration,
• wherein the time duration is differently set based on a driving speed of the moving object within a preset distance range of the intelligent transportation system infrastructure;
• wherein the satisfaction information is information that indicates a level of satisfaction with the platooning input by the user;
• and
• wherein setting the platooning group in consideration of the satisfaction information comprises:
• excluding the moving object representing dissatisfaction from the preliminary platooning group when the satisfaction information indicates the dissatisfaction with platooning, and
• keeping the moving object representing satisfaction in the preliminary platooning group when the satisfaction information indicates the satisfaction with platooning.
