A method for controlling driving of a hybrid electric vehicle includes collecting driving data while the hybrid electric vehicle is driven, determining whether the hybrid electric vehicle enters a first mode corresponding to emergency driving of the hybrid electric vehicle or a second mode corresponding to control in preparation for the emergency driving, and controlling the hybrid electric vehicle in accordance with a mode that the hybrid electric vehicle enters among the first mode and the second mode.

Hybrid electric vehicle and driving control method for same

Disclosed is a method of controlling an eco-friendly vehicle, the method including determining whether the vehicle may be in valet mode, when the vehicle may be determined to be in valet mode, generating the weight of an object by sensing the object riding in the vehicle using a plurality of indoor sensors disposed in the vehicle, performing comparative analysis on the generated weight of the object with a predetermined vehicle reference weight, and differentiating limiting conditions for the vehicle or outputting a notification signal based on the result of the comparative analysis.

Eco-friendly vehicle and method of controlling the same

Disclosed is an acceleration limit function relaxation apparatus. The apparatus may determine, based on information indicating manipulation of a brake pedal of a vehicle during an acceleration limit mode, that the vehicle is in a temporary braking state, determine a vehicle speed, measured at a start of the manipulation of the brake pedal, as a target vehicle speed for reacceleration, determine, based on information indicating manipulation of an accelerator pedal, that the vehicle is reaccelerated, determine an acceleration limit relaxation factor based on a cumulative braking amount calculated by measuring amounts of braking during the temporary braking state, and cause acceleration limit relaxation of the vehicle by applying the acceleration limit relaxation factor to an acceleration limit of the vehicle.

Acceleration limit apparatus and method

A vehicle and an acceleration limit control method thereof, includes obtaining a driving score of a driver, determining a driving score change amount of the driver based on traveling information measured or generated when the vehicle is driving, determining a current driving score based on the determined change amount of the driving score and the obtained driving score, and setting an acceleration limit level or changing a preset acceleration limit level based on the determined current driving score.

Vehicle and acceleration limit control method thereof

An apparatus may be configured to determine whether to adjust an acceleration limit level associated with an acceleration limit operation for a corresponding vehicle speed range. The adjustment may be performed by using driver information acquired based on biometric information of a driver. The apparatus may be configured to control an adjustment of the acceleration limit level. The apparatus may be configured to change a limit acceleration of the vehicle that is accelerated based on a degree of accelerator pedal manipulation by the driver and the adjusted acceleration limit level.

Acceleration limit control apparatus and method

Disclosed are methods, apparatuses, and systems for controlling a valet mode of a vehicle. The method may include activating a valet mode, determining a parking environment of the vehicle being parked in a parking area, when the valet mode is set. Based on the parking environment of the vehicle, a first signal or a second signal may be output. The first signal may be configured to permit parking of the vehicle in the parking area. The second signal may be configured to prohibit parking of the vehicle in the parking area. Determining the parking environment of the vehicle may include determining, based on the parking environment, whether to limit a vehicle control of the vehicle and/or a degree of limit of the vehicle control.

Eco-friendly vehicle and method for controlling valet mode therefor

Disclosed may be a method for evaluating valet mode driving of a vehicle. The method includes determining whether or not a valet mode entry condition may be satisfied, determining a plurality of driving evaluation factors for valet parking based on at least one of a vehicle status or a driving environment, upon determining that the valet mode entry condition may be satisfied, calculating a valet driving evaluation score by analyzing the determined driving evaluation factors and collecting result values acquired through analysis, and displaying the calculated valet driving evaluation score.
