Collision avoidance system and method

Abstract

A system for avoiding a collision between a vehicle and a neighboring object includes a plurality of lamps installed in the vehicle and irradiating light to respective divided areas around the vehicle, a speed measurement sensor measuring a speed of the vehicle, a distance measurement sensor measuring a relative distance between the vehicle and the neighboring object, and a controller determining a collision risk area between the vehicle and the neighboring object from among the divided areas based on the measured speed and relative distance, and controlling a lamp irradiating light to the collision risk area. The system may prevent a collision between the vehicle and the neighboring object by providing a notification through control of the plurality of lamps irradiating light to the respective divided areas around the vehicle.
