Proposed is a system for enabling a vehicle to perform a circuit mode. The system includes a communication unit provided in the vehicle to communicate with a vehicle-external device, a service providing server provided in the vehicle-external device to provide information related to a circuit, a controller which recognizes a current position of the vehicle by receiving a signal related to a vehicle position and which determines whether the vehicle arrives at the circuit based on the current position of the vehicle and the information related to the circuit received from the service providing server via the communication unit, the controller being configured to perform control for a circuit guide function that provides guide information related to the circuit mode and circuit driving when the vehicle enters the circuit mode, and an input/output unit outputting and providing the guide information to a driver by controlling the controller.

System for enabling a vehicle to perform a circuit mode

A method of implementing a preparation mode capable of improving driving performance of a vehicle by warming up a vehicle component before racing is provided. The method includes acquiring vehicle state information detected by a vehicle state detector while the vehicle is driven on a circuit before racing after entering the circuit, and determining a tire slip rate from a wheel speed and a vehicle speed in the vehicle state information. The method also includes determining whether a current vehicle driving state satisfies a preset preparation mode entry condition based on the vehicle state information and the tire slip rate. The method further includes, when the current vehicle driving state satisfies the preset preparation mode entry condition, controlling an operation of a warm-up device for warming up a vehicle component that determines driving performance of the vehicle, and warming up the vehicle component.

A driver assistance system for vehicles, which is capable of preventing driver carelessness from causing a vehicle accident when a vehicle stops while traveling, includes a vehicle sensor unit configured to detect driver state data, a driver assistance unit operated to assist a driver when driver carelessness about vehicle driving is detected when a vehicle stops while traveling, and a control unit configured to identify whether the driver is careless based on the driver state data when the vehicle stops while traveling, and to operate the driver assistance unit when the driver carelessness is detected, preventing the vehicle from driving.

Driver assistance system

An insect repelling system utilizes a vehicle, and includes: a position information acquisition unit configured to acquire and provide vehicle position information, an interface unit configured to display species-based frequency ranges that insects avoid and to allow a user to select one of the displayed frequency ranges, a controller configured to perform control such that the interface unit displays the species-based frequency ranges that are avoided by insects that can be repelled at the current position of the vehicle based on the vehicle position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit and to generate and output a control signal for outputting a sound having the frequency selected through the interface unit, and a sound generation device configured to output the sound having the frequency by the user according to the control signal output by the controller.
