  • Patent number: 11629973
    Abstract: A driving lane keeping control system includes a number of vehicles and a server. Each vehicle is configured to transmit wheel position information to the server. The server is configured to receive the wheel position information from each vehicle, to match the wheel position information with a detailed map to generate a moving trajectory of each vehicle, to analyze the generated moving trajectory of each vehicle to select an optimum moving trajectory, to generate virtual lane information based on the selected optimum moving trajectory, and to transmit the generated virtual lane information to at least one of the vehicles to enable the at least one vehicle to correct a driving position based on the virtual lane information.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10915764
    Abstract: A road surface detecting apparatus may include a camera configured to obtain an image of a front side of a vehicle including a road surface, and a processor configured to classify a road surface event based on a road surface detection model which is generated by performing training based on the obtained image. Accordingly, a stable riding feeling may be provided for the user by quantitatively detecting a road surface event through training and controlling the vehicle based on the detected road surface event.

  • Patent number: 10513274
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for notifying a driver of status information of a surrounding vehicle are provided to guide the driver to conduct defensive driving to provide safety by communicating with the surrounding vehicle which is located within a predetermined distance from a host vehicle on a road and is traveling in the same direction as the host vehicle. The apparatus notifies the driver whether the surrounding vehicle activates an autonomous mode. To this end, the apparatus includes: a V2V communication device to communicate with the surrounding vehicle to obtain information indicating whether the autonomous mode of the surrounding vehicle is activated; a display to display whether the autonomous mode is activated; and a controller to control the display using the information.
