Provided is a collision avoidance assistance device, comprising: a sensor unit that uses at least one sensor to detect a shape and a location of an object existing in a field of view (FOV); a map generator that generates a map including the shape and the location of the detected object; a driving information receiver that receives driving information including at least one of a real-time speed and a real-time steering angle of a vehicle from a communication terminal of the vehicle; a first determination unit that determines that the vehicle turns when the real-time steering angle is greater than or equal to a preset angle; a flag selector that selects flag-on when the vehicle turns and that selects flag-off otherwise; and a collision risk determination unit that determines whether there is a risk of collision between the vehicle and the object based on a determination algorithm or a map.

Method and apparatus for assisting with collision avoidance

An apparatus and a method for preventing a vehicle from falling into a sinkhole are provided. The apparatus prevents the vehicle from being unnecessarily stopped by determining whether to stop the vehicle based on a size of the sinkhole while preventing the vehicle from falling into the sinkhole on a road. The apparatus includes a sensor that is mounted on the vehicle to measure a distance to a ground and a controller that determines a size of the sinkhole based on the distance to the ground and determines whether to stop the vehicle while preventing the vehicle from falling into the sinkhole on a road.
