Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an autonomous vehicle, a control system for remotely controlling the same, and a method thereof. An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a control system including: a steering configured to be controlled by a user for steering control of an autonomous vehicle; and a processor configured to receive, from the autonomous vehicle, a remote control request, and an indication of a current steering angle of the autonomous vehicle, and synchronize, based on the indication, a steering angle of the autonomous vehicle with a steering angle of the steering.
Claims20
A control system comprising:
- a steering input device configured to be controlled by a user for steering control of an autonomous vehicle;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- receive, from the autonomous vehicle, a remote control request comprising an indication of a current steering angle of the autonomous vehicle;
- and
- synchronize, based on the indication, a steering angle of the autonomous vehicle with a steering angle of the steering input device,
- wherein the control system is an external remote control system that is located separately from the autonomous vehicle, and
- wherein the processor is configured to synchronize the steering angle of the autonomous vehicle with the steering angle of the steering input device by matching the steering angle of the steering input device with the current steering angle of the autonomous vehicle in response to the current steering angle of the autonomous vehicle being less than a predetermined reference value.
An autonomous vehicle comprising:
- a wireless transceiver configured to wirelessly communicate with a control system;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- request the control system to perform remote control of the autonomous vehicle;
- receive, from the control system, a steering angle control command comprising an indication of a steering angle of the control system;
- and
- control a steering angle of the autonomous vehicle to synchronize the steering angle of the autonomous vehicle with the steering angle of the control system,
- wherein the control system is an external remote control system that is located separately from the autonomous vehicle, and
- wherein the processor is further configured to perform steering control of the autonomous vehicle based on the steering angle control command, in response to the steering angle of the control system being less than a predetermined reference value and the autonomous vehicle being in a driving state.
A method performed by a control system, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the control system, a remote control request from an autonomous vehicle;
- receiving, by the control system, an indication of a current steering angle of the autonomous vehicle;
- and
- synchronizing, by the control system and based on the indication, a steering angle of the autonomous vehicle with a steering angle of the control system,
- wherein the control system is an external remote control system that is located separately from the autonomous vehicle, and
- wherein the synchronizing comprises:
- matching, by the control system, the steering angle of the control system with the current steering angle of the autonomous vehicle in response to the current steering angle of the autonomous vehicle being less than a predetermined reference value.
