Abstract
An autonomous vehicle, a control system for remotely controlling the same, and a method thereof may include an autonomous driving control apparatus including a processor for determining whether remote control of the autonomous vehicle is required according to at least one of occurrence of failure of the vehicle during autonomous driving thereof, occurrence of an accident, a region where the autonomous driving is not possible, reliability of positioning data of the vehicle, a stopping time of the vehicle, or a response point of a hand signal, and for requesting the remote control to a control system when the remote control of the vehicle is required.
Claims13
An autonomous vehicle comprising:
- an autonomous driving control apparatus including a processor configured for:
- determining whether remote control of the autonomous vehicle is required according to at least one of occurrence of failure of the vehicle during autonomous driving of the vehicle, occurrence of an accident, a region where the autonomous driving is not possible, reliability of positioning data of the vehicle, a stopping time of the vehicle, or a response point of a hand signal, and
- requesting the remote control to a control system when the remote control of the vehicle is required,
- wherein the processor is configured to determine that the remote control of the vehicle is required when the vehicle is stopped for a predetermined time period or longer than the predetermined time period, and
- wherein the processor is configured to control the vehicle to move to a vehicle repair shop when the vehicle fails or the accident occurs,
- wherein the processor is configured to determine that the remote control of the vehicle is required when the vehicle needs to respond to the hand signal,
- wherein the processor, when receiving a remote control start notification signal from the control system, is configured to convert an autonomous driving mode into a remote control mode of the vehicle,
- wherein the processor is configured to notify a driver of the conversion of the autonomous driving mode to the remote control mode, and
- wherein the processor further includes to a display device configured for outputting a notification screen when converting the autonomous driving mode to the remote control mode.
6 more elements
A control system comprising:
- a display device configured to display a remote control request screen from an autonomous vehicle;
- and
- a remote control apparatus including a processor, upon receiving a remote control request from the autonomous vehicle, configured for performing remote control of the vehicle according to vehicle data received from the autonomous vehicle, and for transmitting a remote control start notification signal to the autonomous vehicle,
- wherein the processor is configured to determine that the remote control of the vehicle is required when the vehicle is stopped for a predetermined time period or longer than the predetermined time period, and
- wherein the processor is configured to control the vehicle to move to a vehicle repair shop when the vehicle fails or an accident occurs,
- wherein the processor is further configured to determine that the remote control of the vehicle is required when the vehicle needs to respond to a hand signal,
- wherein the processor, when receiving a remote control start notification signal from the control system, is configured to convert an autonomous driving mode into a remote control mode of the vehicle,
- wherein the processor is configured to notify a driver of the conversion of the autonomous driving mode to the remote control mode, and
- wherein the processor further includes a display device configured for outputting a notification screen when converting the autonomous driving mode to the remote control mode.
6 more elements
A remote control method for an autonomous vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining whether remote control of the autonomous vehicle is required according to at least one of occurrence of failure of the vehicle during autonomous driving of the vehicle, occurrence of an accident, a region where the autonomous driving is not possible, reliability of positioning data of the vehicle, a stopping time of the vehicle, or a response point of a hand signal;
- and
- requesting the remote control to a control system when the remote control of the vehicle is required,
- wherein the remote control is determined to be required when the vehicle is stopped for a predetermined time period or longer than the predetermined time period, and
- wherein the vehicle is controlled to move to a vehicle repair shop when the vehicle fails or an accident occurs,
- wherein the determining whether the remote control of the autonomous vehicle is required includes:
- determining that the remote control of the vehicle is required when the vehicle needs to respond to the hand signal,
- converting an autonomous driving mode of the vehicle into a remote control mode in response to the remote control start notification,
- notifying a driver of the conversion of the autonomous driving mode to the remote control mode, and
- outputting a notification screen via a display device, when converting the autonomous driving mode to the remote control mode.
