Abstract
In an embodiment, a method of controlling a vehicle by altitude prediction based on identification of a high-energy area is provided. The method can include identifying a high-energy spot based on a reference altitude change and map information including altitude data, clustering high-energy spots for each area to set a high-energy area and generating area information, and performing driving power control based on at least location information of the vehicle and the area information in response to the vehicle travel path including the high-energy area.
Claims20
A method for controlling a vehicle, the method comprising:
- identifying a first high-energy spot based on a reference altitude change and map information including altitude data;
- clustering high-energy spots based on the first high-energy spot to set a high-energy area and generating area information;
- and
- performing driving power control based on at least location information of the vehicle and the area information in response to a vehicle travel path including the high-energy area,
- wherein clustering the high-energy spots comprises adding a second high-energy spot into the high-energy area, and
- wherein the second high-energy spot is located in a selected radius from the first high-energy spot.
A vehicle comprising:
- a sensor unit configured to detect a state of the vehicle and an external environment;
- a memory configured to store at least one instruction;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the at least one instruction stored in the memory based on data obtained from the sensor unit and the memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
- identify a first high-energy spot based on a reference altitude change and map information including altitude data;
- cluster high-energy spots based on the first high-energy spot to set a high-energy area and generate area information;
- and
- perform driving power control based on at least location information of the vehicle and the area information in response to a vehicle travel path including the high-energy area,
- wherein the high-energy spots are clustered by adding a second high-energy spot to the high-energy area, and
- wherein the second high-energy spot is located in a selected radius from the first high-energy spot.
