  • Patent number: 11820378
    Abstract: An apparatus for assisting a lane change includes: a storage configured to store information for the lane change; and a processor that classifies a plurality of lane change steps for the lane change from a position of a host vehicle in an original lane to a target lane, and determines whether to output a warning of a dangerous situation in each lane change step of the plurality of lane change steps when the dangerous situation occurs. When the host vehicle is positioned on a boundary line of the target lane or goes over the boundary line of the target lane, the processor assists the lane change without outputting the warning based on a driving situation.

  • Publication number: 20210284145
    Abstract: A driver assist device and a method for operating the device are provided. The driver assist device includes a processor and a non-transitory storage medium containing program instructions executed by the processor. When a vehicle changes a lane from a traveling lane to a target lane, the processor determines a possibility of collision between the vehicle and another vehicle in the target lane and calculates an expected amount of deceleration of the vehicle with respect to a target vehicle in the target lane when there is no possibility of collision between the vehicle and the another vehicle. The processor compares the calculated expected amount of deceleration of the vehicle with a deceleration criterion, and determines whether to perform lane change assist control based on the comparison result.
