Abstract:
An apparatus and method for controlling a vehicle speed based on information about forward vehicles that travel in the same lane may be acquired using Vehicle to Everything (V2X) communications in a cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) system. The CACC system includes a communication unit receiving vehicle information from neighboring vehicles using V2V communications; an information collection unit collecting vehicle information of the neighboring vehicles and the subject vehicle using sensors; and a control unit determining a forward vehicle and a far-forward vehicle using the sensors, selecting first and second target vehicles for being followed by the subject vehicle based on the vehicle information of the forward vehicle and the far-forward vehicle and the vehicle information of the neighboring vehicles, and controlling the driving speed of the subject vehicle based on speed information of the first and second target vehicles.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a lane estimating apparatus and method. The apparatus includes: a lane determiner, an obstacle position calculator, a vehicle position corrector, and a lane estimator. The lane determiner compares a first lane detected by a first sensor with a lane on an actual road or a second lane on a local map to determine reliability of the first lane. The obstacle position calculator detects, when the reliability of the detected first lane is less than a preset reference, a first obstacle in the vicinity of a vehicle and a second obstacle on the local map, and calculates a difference between slopes and positions of straight lines extracted from the first obstacle and the second obstacle. The vehicle position corrector corrects a heading direction and a position of the vehicle based on the difference between the slopes and positions of the straight lines. In addition, the lane estimator estimates a driving lane on the local map.
Abstract:
A system and method for filtering LiDAR data is provided. The system includes a LiDAR data collector that is configured to collect the LiDAR data from a LiDAR and store the LiDAR data in a matrix structure. A noise point determiner is configured to determine whether a first filtering condition for determining whether a point within a predetermined reference distance in the LiDAR data is present, a second filtering condition for determining whether a present point adjacent to a left and right by a reference of a reference point in the matrix structure is a first reference value or less, and a third filtering condition for determining whether a present point adjacent to a top and bottom by the reference of the reference point is a second reference value or less are satisfied.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method of recognizing the location of a current lane in which a vehicle is traveling, using a radar and an imaging device. The method includes: detecting the locations of the fixed objects using an object detector; capturing a photograph of the road surface ahead using an imaging device; calculating, by a controller, the entire width of a traveling road based on the locations of the fixed objects at the left side and the right side; calculating, by the controller the width of a traveling lane from the photograph of the road surface; and calculating, by the controller, the lane in which the vehicle is traveling based on the calculated width of the traveling lane and the entire width of the traveling road.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for identifying surrounding vehicles is provided. The apparatus includes a sensor that measures position coordinates of a first surrounding vehicle and a yaw rate and a speed of a subject vehicle and a V2V communication unit that receives a coordinate history and a speed from the plurality of surrounding vehicles. Additionally, a controller generates a traveling trajectory and a speed pattern as first identification information by applying accumulated behaviors of the subject vehicle to the position coordinates of the first surrounding vehicle and calculate each traveling trajectory and speed pattern as n-th identification information based on the coordinate history and the speed received via the V2V communication unit. The controller then compares the first identification information with the n-th identification information to recognize the surrounding vehicle corresponding to identification information most similar to the first identification information as the first surrounding vehicle.
Abstract:
An apparatus for a self localization of a vehicle includes a sensor unit, a landmark detector, a landmark recognizer, and a location estimator. The sensor includes at least two sensors and is configured to measure information on environment around the vehicle using each of the at least two sensors. The landmark detector is configured to detect landmark information based on data measured by each sensor. The landmark recognizer is configured to selectively combine landmark information detected based on data measurement of at least one of the at least two sensors to recognize a landmark and reflect fused landmark information to update a probability distribution. The location estimator is configured to use the probability distribution updated by the landmark recognizer to estimate a self location of the vehicle.
