Magnetic induction communication-based vehicle control apparatus and method

A vehicle with a lane keeping function and a communications function, comprising:

• a vehicle control apparatus;
• a steering system;
• and
• a drivetrain, wherein the vehicle control apparatus is coupled to both the steering system and the drivetrain, the vehicle control apparatus comprises one or more first coils, a processor, and a communications interface, the one or more first coils are coupled to the processor, and the processor is coupled to the communications interface;
• wherein the one or more first coils are configured to receive a first signal of second coils laid along a predetermined travel direction, and there is a preset relative location relationship between the one or more first coils and the second coils,
• wherein when a vehicle equipped with the vehicle control apparatus deviates from the predetermined travel direction, the one or more first coils generate an electromotive force signal based on a change in the relative location relationship between the one or more first coils and the second coils,
• wherein the processor outputs a second signal based on the electromotive force signal, and the second signal is used to indicate the steering system and the drivetrain to adjust a running track to travel along the predetermined travel direction,
• wherein the processor is further configured to receive a third signal from the communications interface, the communications interface is configured to receive a signal from the vehicle equipped with the vehicle control apparatus, the processor generates an electromotive force signal based on the third signal, the one or more first coils are configured to send a fourth signal based on the electromotive force signal, and the fourth signal is used to identify the vehicle equipped with the vehicle control apparatus and indicate running information of the vehicle,
• wherein the one or more first coils generate the electromotive force signal when the vehicle deviates from the predetermined travel direction to a first direction, the electromotive force signal comprises a first-directional electromotive force, the processor outputs the second signal based on the first-directional electromotive force, and the second signal is used to indicate to the vehicle to adjust the running track toward a second direction to travel along the predetermined travel direction, and
• wherein the one or more first coils generate the electromotive force signal when the vehicle deviates from the predetermined travel direction to the second direction, the electromotive force signal comprises a second-directional electromotive force, the processor outputs the second signal based on the second-directional electromotive force, and the second signal is used to indicate the vehicle to adjust the running track to the first direction to travel along the predetermined travel direction, wherein the first direction is opposite to the second direction.
