Abstract
An autonomous driving control apparatus for controlling autonomous driving around another vehicle that is parked includes a controller configured to receive information about an object sensed by sensors provided in one or more other vehicles from the one or more other vehicles, through a communication device provided in an autonomous vehicle. The controller is further configured to control autonomous driving around the one or more other vehicles based on the received information. The autonomous driving control apparatus allows an autonomous vehicle to safely travel in a space with many persons, such as in a public housing parking lot, a mart parking lot, or the like.
Claims15
An autonomous driving control apparatus, comprising:
- a communication device provided in an autonomous vehicle and configured to communicate with one or more other vehicles parked around the autonomous vehicle;
- and
- a controller configured to receive information about an object sensed by sensors provided in the one or more other vehicles from the one or more other vehicles through the communication device, and to control autonomous driving around the one or more other vehicles based on the received information,
- wherein the controller is further configured to:
- receive the information about the object from the one or more other vehicles that are located in a driving direction of the autonomous vehicle;
- not receive the information about the object from the one or more other vehicles that are not located in the driving direction of the autonomous vehicle;
- and
- transmit information about a position of the autonomous vehicle to the one or more other vehicles, through the communication device,
- wherein the one or more other vehicles determine an approach of the autonomous vehicle, based on the information about the position of the autonomous vehicle and the information received from the autonomous vehicle, and enable the sensors provided in the one or more other vehicles,
- wherein the controller determines motion of the object, based on a change in information received from the one or more other vehicles, and controls the autonomous driving based on the determined motion of the object, and
- wherein the controller is further configured to:
- receive information about a position of each of the one or more other vehicles, a parking direction of each of the one or more other vehicles, and a position where each of the sensors sensing the object is mounted on each of the one or more other vehicles;
- determine information about a position of the object, based on the information about the position of each of the one or more other vehicles, the parking direction of each of the one or more other vehicles, and the position where each of the sensors sensing the object is mounted on each of the one or more other vehicles;
- and
- control the autonomous driving based on the determined information about the position of the object.

An autonomous driving control method, comprising:
- transmitting, by a controller, information about a position of an autonomous vehicle to one or more other vehicles, through a communication device;
- determining, by the one or more other vehicles, an approach of the autonomous vehicle based on the information about the position of the autonomous vehicle and information being received from the autonomous vehicle;
- enabling, by the one or more other vehicles, sensors provided in the one or more other vehicles based on the approach of the autonomous vehicle being determined;
- receiving, by the controller, information about an object sensed by the sensors provided in the one or more other vehicles parked around the autonomous vehicle from the one or more other vehicles through the communication device provided in the autonomous vehicle;
- and
- controlling, by the controller, autonomous driving around the one or more other vehicles based on the received information,
- wherein receiving the information about the object includes:
- receiving, by the controller, the information about the object from the one or more other vehicles that are located in a driving direction of the autonomous vehicle;
- and
- not receiving, by the controller, the information about the object from the one or more other vehicles that are not located in the driving direction of the autonomous vehicle, and
- wherein controlling the autonomous driving around the one or more other vehicles includes:
- determining, by the controller, motion of the object based on a change in information received from the one or more other vehicles;
- and
- controlling, by the controller, the autonomous driving based on the determined motion of the object,
- wherein the receiving of the information about the object sensed by the sensors provided in the one or more other vehicles parked around the autonomous vehicle from the one or more other vehicles, through the communication device, by the controller includes:
- receiving, by the controller, information about a position of each of the one or more other vehicles, a parking direction of each of the one or more other vehicles, and a position where each of the sensors sensing the object is mounted on each of the one or more other vehicles, and
- wherein the controlling of the autonomous driving around the one or more other vehicles, based on the received information, by the controller includes:
- determining, by the controller, information about a position of the object, based on the information about the position of each of the one or more other vehicles, the parking direction of each of the one or more other vehicles, and the position where each of the sensors sensing the object is mounted on each of the one or more other vehicles;
- and
- controlling, by the controller, the autonomous driving based on the determined information about the position of the object.
