APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING A CRASH PREVENTION CONTROL FUNCTIONALITY FOR A VEHICLE

摘要

An apparatus for providing crash prevention control functionality to a vehicle includes: a dangerous situation determining unit determining whether a dangerous situation is developing with respect to a side approaching vehicle based on information relating to the vehicle approaching from a side direction; a lane keeping assist system (LKAS) control area calculation unit calculating a control area to apply to a LKAS so as to avoid the approaching vehicle when the approaching vehicle is causing a dangerous situation; a smart cruise control (SCC) control value calculation unit calculating a control value to apply to an SCC system so as to avoid the approaching vehicle when the approaching vehicle is causing a dangerous situation; and a drive control unit configured to output a control signal to at least one of the LKAS and the SCC system according to the calculation results.

1. An apparatus for providing crash prevention control functionality to a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
a dangerous situation determining unit configured to determine whether a dangerous situation is developing with respect to a side approaching vehicle based on information relating to the side approaching vehicle approaching the vehicle from a side direction; a lane keeping assist system (LKAS) control area calculation unit configured to calculate a control area to apply to an LKAS so as to cause the vehicle to move in a direction transverse to a direction of travel of the vehicle while remaining in a current lane of the vehicle to avoid the side approaching vehicle when it is determined that the side approaching vehicle is causing a dangerous situation according to the determination result; a smart cruise control (SCC) control value calculation unit configured to calculate a control value to apply to an SCC system so as to avoid the side approaching vehicle when it is determined that the side approaching vehicle is causing a dangerous situation according to the determination result; and a drive control unit configured to output a control signal to at least one of the LKAS and the SCC system according to the calculation results.
