METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AVOIDING A VEHICLE COLLISION WITH LOW POWER CONSUMPTION BASED ON CONVERSED RADAR SENSORS

摘要

A method and apparatus are provided for avoiding a vehicle collision with low power consumption based on converged radar sensors, configured for optimizing collision avoidance between vehicles with a low power consumption by operating a minimum number of sensors according to a road situation in order to reduce a fuel consumption in a high speed driving environment such as a freeway, etc. and a low speed driving environment such as a busy downtown, etc.

主权项

1. A method for avoiding a collision of a vehicle with a low power consumption based on a converged radar sensor mounted on the vehicle comprising steps of:
(a) operating a plurality of radar sensors; (b) detecting a road condition or a driving environment by analyzing an image of a front camera; (c) obtaining speed information of the vehicle analyzed by using an acceleration sensor and driving information including information for a surrounding vehicle or a surrounding object analyzed by using a radar signal generated by the plurality of radar sensors and a corresponding reflection signal; and (d) supporting a driving state change including a speed of the vehicle or lane change by determining whether a risk for the collision with the surrounding vehicle or the surrounding object exists, while controlling an operation of one front long distance radar sensor and a short distance radar sensor of residual front, rear, or side of the plurality of radar sensors, according to the driving environment or the driving information.
