Abstract
Disclosed is a vehicle which supports a minimal risk maneuver. The vehicle performs driving, perform the minimal risk maneuver when a specific event occurs during the driving, eliminates the risk of the vehicle in accordance with the initiation of the minimal risk maneuver, ends the minimal risk maneuver when the risk of the vehicle is eliminated, and performs the driving again after ending the minimal risk maneuver.
Claims14
A vehicle for performing a minimal risk maneuver (MRM), the vehicle comprising:
- a sensor which senses an environment around the vehicle and generates data related to the environment;
- a processor which monitors a state of the vehicle to generate data related to the state of the vehicle, and controls autonomous driving of the vehicle;
- a controller which controls operations of the vehicle according to the control of the processor;
- a navigation system which transmits and receives navigation information of the vehicle;
- and
- an infrastructure communication circuit which transmits and receives infrastructure communication information to and from external infrastructures,
- wherein the processor
- generates a request for the minimal risk maneuver of the vehicle,
- determines an MRM safety zone based on at least one of a first safety zone determined based on the navigation information, a second safety zone determined based on information of the sensor, and a third safety zone determined based on the infrastructure communication information, and
- controls the controller to perform the minimal risk maneuver based on the MRM safety zone.
A method for operating a vehicle for performing a minimal risk maneuver (MRM), the method comprising:
- an MRM step of performing the minimal risk maneuver according to a request for the minimal risk maneuver by the vehicle;
- and
- an MRC step of completing the minimal risk maneuver and performing a stop state management of the vehicle,
- wherein the MRM step comprises:
- determining an MRM safety zone based on at least one of a first safety zone determined based on navigation information, a second safety zone determined based on information of a sensor, and a third safety zone determined based on infrastructure communication information;
- and
- performing the minimal risk maneuver based on the MRM safety zone.
