In order to prevent a collision accident occurring by a second rear vehicle in an emergency stop of the vehicle in advance, the apparatus includes a vehicle sensor that detects various types of information on a target vehicle, a rear sensor that detects a first rear vehicle and a second rear vehicle driving behind the target vehicle, and a controller that is electrically connected to the vehicle sensor and the rear sensor to control an emergency stop of the target vehicle in consideration of a state of a field of view of the second rear vehicle with respect to the target vehicle when the target vehicle is stopped in emergency.

Apparatus for controlling stop of vehicle and method thereof

An embodiment method for controlling autonomous driving in a vehicle with an incorporated semi-autonomous driving system and warning alarm system includes monitoring a status of a driver during semi-autonomous driving, generating a state signal based on the monitoring, the state signal indicating a state that includes a warning state, a coasting state and a braking state, and performing a driver emergency assistance operation based on the state signal, wherein the vehicle transitions to the warning state, the coasting state, or the braking state based on the state signal to perform a corresponding driver emergency assistance operation.

Method and device for controlling autonomous driving

A vehicle restart control apparatus includes a processor configured to generate an override torque according to the environment information of the host vehicle when the vehicle is restarted after stopping; and a storage configured to store data and algorithms driven by the processor.

Apparatus for controlling restart a vehicle, system having the same and method thereof

A platooning controller, a vehicle system including the same, and a method thereof are provided. The platooning controller includes a processor that displays each of a plurality of vehicles forming a platoon as a certain vehicle area and arranges and displays vehicle areas of the vehicles on a screen to be partially overlapped with each other. A storage stores information for configuring the screen by the processor.

Platooning controller, system including the same, and method thereof

Disclosed herein is a control apparatus and method for improving fuel efficiency in a CACC system, which can improve fuel efficiency through control of a vehicle speed so that a vehicle travels using an optimized cost in consideration of a target vehicle speed, current vehicle speed, minimum driving speed set in the vehicle, and a deceleration distance if the vehicle that uses the CACC system senses a forward vehicle and enters into a CACC active mode. The control method for improving fuel efficiency in a CACC system includes setting a target speed profile based on a target speed of the subject vehicle and an expected driving path, determining whether a target vehicle to be followed by the subject vehicle exists, and controlling the driving speed of the subject vehicle according to the set target speed profile depending on whether or not the target vehicle exists.

Control apparatus and method for improving fuel efficiency in CACC system

A platooning controller, a vehicle system including the same, and a method thereof are provided. The platooning controller includes a processor that identifies information about outside vehicles around a platooning line based on sensing information of platooning vehicles, determines whether views of the outside vehicles are obstructed by the platooning line based on the information about the outside vehicles, controls the platooning vehicles such that the views of the outside vehicles are obtained, and performs collision avoidance control and a storage storing the sensing information or a result of determination of whether a view is obstructed.

An apparatus for displaying a virtual lane may include: a processor to generate the virtual lane by converting lane information of a preceding vehicle into lane information viewed in a viewpoint of a host vehicle, in platooning, and a display to display the virtual lane.

Apparatus for displaying virtual lane in platooning and method thereof

A platooning management device, a vehicle system including the same, and a method thereof are provided. The platooning management device includes a processor that calculates driving costs of vehicles in a platooning line, and compares the driving costs of the vehicles to determine whether it is necessary to change a location of a leading vehicle in the platooning line. When it is necessary to change the location, the processor performs location change control. A storage stores driving costs obtained by the processor and information received from the vehicles in the platooning line.

Platooning management device, system including the same, and method thereof
