Abstract
Methods and systems for controlling driving of a vehicle are disclosed, where line system includes one or more processors configured to identify objects, including another vehicle, around a host vehicle and collect object information about the objects, to collect road states information of road states in a traveling direction of the host vehicle, to check the object information around the host vehicle and the road states information to identify a safety zone to which the host vehicle is able to travel, and to control the host vehicle to travel to the safety zone when the other vehicle is detected in the traveling direction of the host vehicle in a state in which the host vehicle has entered a curved road.
Claims12
A system for controlling driving of a host vehicle, the system comprising:
- at least one processor configured to:
- identify objects, including another vehicle, around the host vehicle;
- collect object information about the objects;
- collect road states information of road states in a traveling direction of the host vehicle;
- identify an area that is free of the other vehicle or obstacles, and set the area as a safety zone for the host vehicle to travel to, based on the object information around the host vehicle and the road states information, wherein the safety zone does not extend beyond a centerline separating lanes in opposite traveling directions;
- determine a risk level according to the object information about the objects around the host vehicle and the road states information in the safety zone;
- increase the determined risk level when each condition among a distance between the host vehicle and the other vehicle being less than or equal to a reference distance, a relative speed of the other vehicle being greater or equal to a reference speed, the road being a downhill road, the road being an unpaved road, the road being wet, and information according to road signs, is satisfied;
- reduce the determined risk level when each condition among a distance between the host vehicle and the other vehicle being greater than the reference distance, the relative speed of the other vehicle being less than the reference speed, and the road being an uphill road, is satisfied;
- and
- control the host vehicle to travel to the safety zone, in response to the host vehicle entering a curved road and the other vehicle being detected to enter the traveling direction of the host vehicle from an opposite direction based on the determined risk level,
- wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control a braking force and timing of the host vehicle in the safety zone such that the host vehicle reduces a travelling speed based on the determined risk level to avoid a collision with the other vehicle or to reduce an impact of a collision.
