US 8,948,929 B2 · Vehicle management and control for safe driving and collision avoidance

Abstract

The disclosure is related to a method of managing and controlling vehicles for safe driving. In the method, at least one virtual zone may be defined based on information collected from a plurality of vehicles in motion and related servers in real time. Vehicles may be grouped into at least one vehicle groups according to a predetermined similarity condition based on the collected information. An abnormal driving pattern model may be generated based on a driving pattern of each vehicle in each vehicle group. At least one area of a virtual zone may be designated as a spot when at least one vehicle having a driving pattern matched with the abnormal driving pattern model in the at least one area. Safe driving information may be transmitted to at least one vehicle having driving patterns matched with attributes of the spot among vehicles entering each virtual zone.

A method of managing and controlling vehicles for safe driving, the method comprising:

collecting information from a plurality of vehicles in motion and related servers in real time;
defining at least one virtual zone based on the collected information;
grouping vehicles into at least one vehicle group according to a predetermined similarity condition based on the collected information;
generating an abnormal driving pattern model based on a driving pattern of each vehicle in each vehicle group;
designating at least one area of a virtual zone as a spot when at least one vehicle having a driving pattern matched with the abnormal driving pattern model is in the at least one area;
and
transmitting safe driving information to at least one vehicle having driving patterns matched with attributes of the spot among vehicles entering each virtual zone.

4 more elements

A server of managing and controlling vehicles for safe driving, the server comprising:

a virtual zone generator configured to define at least one virtual zone based on information collected from a plurality of vehicles in motion and related servers in real time;
a vehicle group generator configured to group vehicles into at least one vehicle group according to a predetermined similarity condition based on the collected information;
a pattern model generator configured to generate an abnormal driving pattern model based on a driving pattern of each vehicle in each vehicle group;
a spot generator configured to designate at least one area of a virtual zone as a spot when at least one vehicle having a driving pattern matched with the abnormal driving pattern model in the at least one area;
and
a vehicle controller configured to transmit safe driving information to at least one vehicle having driving patterns matched with attributes of the spot among vehicles entering each virtual zone.
