Abstract
Disclosed is an obstacle detection system of a vehicle. The obstacle detection system includes a driving information unit configured to calculate driving position information of the vehicle, a determiner configured to anticipate whether or not the vehicle will enter a joining point where the vehicle meets a target road to be joined based on the driving position information calculated by the driving information unit, a sensing unit configured to sense obstacles located beside the vehicle, and a controller configured to change a sensing range of the sensing unit so as to detect an obstacle moving on the target road to be joined, when the determiner anticipates that the vehicle will enter the joining point.
Claims15
An obstacle detection system of a vehicle, the obstacle detection system comprising:
- a driving information unit configured to calculate driving position information of the vehicle and a lane width of a target road to be joined;
- a determiner configured to anticipate whether the vehicle will enter a joining point where the vehicle meets the target road to be joined based on the driving position information;
- a sensing unit configured to sense obstacles located beside the vehicle;
- and
- a controller configured to change a sensing range of the sensing unit so as to detect an obstacle moving on the target road to be joined, in response that the determiner anticipates that the vehicle will enter the joining point and to extend the sensing range based on the lane width of the target road to be joined.
An obstacle detection method of a vehicle, the obstacle detection method comprising:
- calculating, by a driving information unit, driving position information of the vehicle and a lane width of a target road to be joined;
- anticipating, by a determiner, whether the vehicle will enter a joining point where the vehicle meets a target road to be joined based on the driving position information;
- changing, by a controller, a sensing range of a sensing unit so as to detect an obstacle moving on the target road to be joined in response to the determiner anticipating that the vehicle will enter the joining point,
- wherein, the changing of the sensing range includes extending, by the controller, the sensing range based on the lane width of the target road to be joined.
