  • Publication number: 20240087225
    Abstract: The interaction system includes: an infrastructure image sensor-based 3D cloud restoration module configured to create a 3D cloud point using a multi-view image received from an infrastructure sensor; a real-time 3D map creation and learning update module configured to generate subset data composed of point clouds into a 3D map using 3D point information received from the infrastructure image sensor-based 3D cloud restoration module; an object estimation module in a 3D space configured to recognize and track an object existing in a 3D space based on the 3D map received from the real-time 3D map creation and learning update module; and a dangerous situation recognition and interaction module in space configured to receive information on an object existing in the 3D space from the object estimation module in the 3D space, recognize a dangerous situation, and provide dangerous situation related information.

  • Publication number: 20180224851
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and apparatus for effectively controlling an autonomous driving vehicle in an abnormal condition in which a navigation system and/or an autonomous driving system malfunctions. The apparatus for controlling the autonomous driving vehicle includes a position recognition unit for generating first position information by recognizing a position of the autonomous driving vehicle, a state determination unit for determining whether the position recognition unit is in an abnormal state, a dead reckoning unit for generating second position information by predicting a position of the autonomous driving vehicle using dead reckoning, a data providing unit for selecting either the first position information or the second position information depending on a determination result of the state determination unit, and a vehicle controller for controlling the autonomous driving vehicle based on a section result of the data providing unit.

  • Patent number: 9224300
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling autonomous vehicle platooning are disclosed. The apparatus for controlling autonomous vehicle platooning includes a frame format configuration unit, a synchronization unit, and a contention window assignment unit. The frame format configuration unit configures the format of a frame included in a communication channel applicable to the control of autonomous vehicle platooning. The synchronization unit synchronizes a plurality of vehicles with one another using the frame so that the vehicles can perform the autonomous vehicle platooning. The contention window assignment unit assigns the different contention window values of a slot for management of the frame to the respective synchronized vehicles. The control is performed using the assigned contention window values so that the vehicles can participate in the autonomous vehicle platooning.
