METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING CROSSROADS PENETRATION VEHICLE

摘要

PURPOSE: A method and an apparatus for controlling a vehicle within an intersection are provided to control efficiently an idling state of an engine by controlling the ignition of the vehicle on the basis of a signal frequency of a signal light. CONSTITUTION: A signal light information processing unit(232) collects signal information including location coordinates and signal frequencies of signal lights installed at an intersection. A signal light selection unit(233) selects the corresponding signal light among the signal lights considering the location information of the signal lights and the location information of the vehicle within the intersection. A signal light selection unit determines the travelling direction on the basis of the location information of the vehicle within the intersection. A vehicle control unit(235) controls the vehicle on the basis of the signal frequency of the signal light. The vehicle control unit turns the ignition off so as to prevent the idling of the vehicle on the basis of the signal frequency of the signal light.
