Abstract
A method of moving an autonomous vehicle to a safe zone after an accident is provided. The method includes: setting a threshold which is a criterion for determining a failure of a chassis system; determining whether a failure occurs by using the threshold; determining a control mode of twin clutches or a braking system; designating avoidance speed level in accordance with whether a following vehicle approaches; and setting a target trajectory to a safe zone and then generating braking torque on left and right wheels or controlling distribution of driving torque through the twin clutches in order to move the autonomous vehicle at the avoidance speed along the target trajectory.
