An embodiment driving control method includes determining whether a turning section is present ahead along a driving route of a host vehicle, determining a first turning radius with respect to a center of the host vehicle in response to determining that the turning section is present, determining, based on the first turning radius, a second turning radius required to prevent the host vehicle from deviating from a lane to an inside in a turning direction, determining a third turning radius with respect to an inner rear wheel in consideration of an overall width of the host vehicle, and controlling the host vehicle to travel along the driving route or to travel along a corrected route generated by correcting the driving route based on relative sizes of the second turning radius and the third turning radius.

Vehicle and driving control method thereof

An apparatus for deciding a steering intent of a driver is provided. The apparatus includes a processor configured to determine whether a driver intends to steer a vehicle based on sensing results of a stabilization state of a vehicle and whether a hand of the driver is positioned on a steering wheel of the vehicle, and a memory configured to store a preset reference value to determine the steering intent of the driver.

Apparatus for determining the steering intent of a driver, system having the same, and method thereof

A collision avoidance control system and method are provided. The system includes a GPS receiver that obtains location information of a vehicle, a navigation system having map information, and a sensor unit that senses a target vehicle located near a roundabout. The sensor obtains traveling information of the target vehicle and forward view image information of the vehicle. A controller then calculates an estimated collision point based on the map information, the location information of the vehicle and the traveling information of the target vehicle to determine a risk of collision based on an absolute value of a difference between an arrival time of the vehicle to the estimated collision point and an arrival time of the target vehicle to the estimated collision point. The speed of the vehicle is then adjusted in response to the determined risk of collision.

Collision avoidance control system and method

A lane changing apparatus of an autonomous vehicle includes a lane recognizer, a vehicle information collector, control information, calculator, a controller and a steering apparatus. The lane recognizer is configured to recognize a lane of a road on which the vehicle is driving and extract road information from the recognized lane. The vehicle information collector is configured to collect vehicle information by a variety of sensors installed in the vehicle. The control information calculator is configured to calculate control information for changing the lane by using the vehicle information and the road information. The controller is configured to control a yaw rate of the vehicle based on the control information upon changing the lane. The steering apparatus is configured to change a moving direction of the vehicle according to a control of the controller.

An apparatus and method for recognizing a driving field of a vehicle are provided. The apparatus includes a sensor that is configured to sense a location of a vehicle driving on a road and sense whether an object is adjacent to the vehicle. In addition, a controller is configured to detect whether the object is present and a lane of the road on which the vehicle is being driven is changed to detect a final lane candidate group on which the vehicle is positioned. The final lane candidate group is then displayed by the controller.
