Abstract: A power control device configured for diagnosing an open-circuit fault occurring in a power system of an autonomous vehicle and an open-circuit diagnosis method thereof, may include a power control switch that selectively connects or separates main power output from the first power supply and auxiliary power output from the second power supply, and a processor that determines a possibility of an open-circuit fault of a vehicle power source based on a current flowing through the power control switch and determines whether it is possible to drive an electric load with an output power of the second power supply alone and determine an open-circuit position based on an output of the first power supply when there is the possibility of the open-circuit fault.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a driving motor, an electric load, a first battery electrically connected to the driving motor and configured to supply a power of a first voltage to the driving motor, a second battery electrically connected to the electric load and configured to supply a power of a second voltage to the electric load, a direct-current converter electrically connected to the first battery and the second battery between the first battery and the second battery, and a controller operatively connected to the direct-current converter and configured to control the direct-current converter to supply the power of the first battery to the second battery and to warn a low state of charge (SOC) value of the first battery based on an SoC of the first battery and a distance of the vehicle to a charging station for charging the first battery during supply of the power of the first battery to the second battery.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a power control apparatus and a vehicle having the same. The vehicle includes a storage, a plurality of loads configured to perform at least one function, a power control apparatus configured to cut off power supplied to the plurality of loads, respectively, and a controller configured to identify at least one load supplied with the power through the power control apparatus during execution of a parking mode for a preset period, and to match operation information of the identified at least one load with identification information of the at least one load and store it in the storage.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are vehicle accident recorders and methods for generating accident information thereof. A method may include receiving an accident message transmitted from an accident vehicle; confirming a distance between a vehicle and an accident point and whether or not a view confirming the accident point is secured, based on accident data included in the accident message; and generating witness data for the accident point depending on results of the confirming of the distance between the vehicle and the accident point and whether or not the view is secured.

Abstract: An apparatus for establishing lane information using driving information of a vehicle is provided. The apparatus comprises a map information storing unit storing digital map information and a driving information collecting unit collecting driving information from a plurality of vehicles. An accumulating and compiling statistics unit accumulates the driving information of each vehicle collected by the driving collecting unit and then compiles statistics on the accumulated driving information. A controlling unit generates lane information based on a statistics result of the accumulating and compiling statistics unit and the digital map information. A lane information database stores the lane information generated by the controlling unit.

Abstract: A system and a method for managing information of a parking lot, and parking lot information providing apparatus are provided. The includes a processor of a vehicle that recognizes information of a wireless access point (Wi-Fi AP) in the parking lot and a storage server that receives the information of the Wi-Fi AP for each parking lot from the processor to store into a database. The storage server manages the information stored in the DB and provides position information based on the information of the Wi-Fi AP of the parking lot to a corresponding vehicle when the vehicle enters the parking lot. The storage server updates the information of the Wi-Fi AP previously stored for the corresponding parking lot based on the information of the Wi-Fi AP received from the vehicle that entered the parking lot.
