The sensor integration module includes: a first sensor enabled based on first operation information and providing a sensing result as first sensing information; a second sensor enabled based on second operation information and providing a sensing result as second sensing information; a first communication device that transmits and receives information with electronic devices in a vehicle; and a controller that generates the first and second operation information for selectively enabling the first and second sensors based on information provided from the first communication device and provides the first communication device with the result determined based on the first and second sensing information.

Sensor integration module for detecting a vehicle interior and an operation method thereof

A device for controlling a vehicle includes a first sensor that senses boarding of a driver, a second sensor that senses alcohol contained in exhalation of the driver, and a controller that sets a location of a seat such that a distance from the second sensor to the driver becomes a predetermined distance. The vehicle control device may control the seat location such that a distance between the driver and a sensing device is maintained to be equal to or less than the predetermined distance when measuring the alcohol to allow the alcoholic ingredient of the driver to be accurately measured, and may arouse awareness of the driver of the alcohol measurement as the seat location is controlled.

Device and method for controlling vehicle

A radar controller for a vehicle and a method therefore are provided. The radar controller includes a radar that detects a passenger located inside the vehicle and an obstacle located outside the vehicle and a controller that determines sensitivity and a detection speed corresponding to an operation mode of the radar and controls the radar to operate at the determined sensitivity and the determined detection speed.

Radar controller for vehicle and method thereof

An alcohol interlock control apparatus for a vehicle includes: a sensor configured to acquire a biosignal of an occupant that is seated in a driver's seat; and a controller configured to determine whether or not the occupant seated in the driver's seat has changed based on the biosignal of the occupant, and when changed, to determine whether the occupant is in a drunken state, and may identify a driver based on the biosignal of the occupant seated in the driver's seat without an additional device and cost, and may fundamentally block an improper alcohol measurement of an additional occupant instead of the driver.

Apparatus and method for controlling alcohol interlock of vehicle

A device and a method are provided for controlling an image of a vehicle for an image of a vehicle camera that does not have a built-in image signal processor (ISP). A communication device receives information on an operation mode of the vehicle from a vehicle system and a camera device that does not have a built-in ISP obtains an image of a surrounding region of the vehicle, and transmits the image of the surrounding region to a first image controller. The first image controller having a first ISP for performing image processing shares the image of the surrounding region with a second image controller having a second ISP for performing image processing. The first image controller and the second image controller alternatively have a control right for the camera device depending on the operation mode of the vehicle.
