  • Patent number: 12151675
    Abstract: A driving controller for a vehicle includes a detector that obtains driving information of a preceding vehicle and information about the road and a controller that determines a risk level of the preceding vehicle based on the driving information of the preceding vehicle and determines whether to perform avoidance control depending on the risk level. When it is determined that a breakdown or risk occurs in the preceding vehicle, the driving controller provides corresponding logic capable of avoiding the preceding vehicle.

  • Patent number: 12145613
    Abstract: In an apparatus and a method for providing information on autonomous driving of a vehicle to a passenger of the vehicle, when it is recognized whether partial autonomous driving of a vehicle is activated, information on whether a user operates a device including a display may be acquired, and it is determined the user operates the display in a state in which the partial autonomous driving is activated, information on the autonomous driving of the vehicle may be output through the display. An effect of inducing an alert measure of the driver against a dangerous situation may be provided by providing driving information at a site, at which a sight of the driver stays.

  • Patent number: 12122423
    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle and a drone-based emergency response method thereof are provided. The autonomous vehicle includes a communication device that supports communication with a drone and a detection device that detects vehicle status information and driving environment information. A processing device detects an emergency situation occurring on a road based on the vehicle status information and the driving environment information while autonomous driving and performs a response logic matching the recognized emergency situation using the drone.

  • Publication number: 20200398631
    Abstract: Provided is a system for estimating behavior of a vehicle to control damping force of a variable damper installed between an axle and a vehicle body. The system includes four dampers installed in wheels, two or more wheel sensors configured to detect vertical velocities of wheels, one integrated sensor installed on one side of the vehicle body, and an electronic control unit (ECU) configured to control damping force of the dampers on the basis of a roll value, a pitch value, and a bounce value of the vehicle body estimated through the integrated sensor and the vertical velocities of the wheels.

  • Patent number: 10086671
    Abstract: Provided are an electronic control suspension apparatus and a damping force controlling method thereof, which are capable of changing a damping force of a damper by just manipulating a multistep switch even during driving. The electronic control suspension apparatus for controlling a damping force of a damper installed at each of a front wheel and a rear wheel includes: a multistep switch disposed in a vehicle and configured to change the damping force of the damper in a multistep manner between a hard step and a soft step; and an electronic control unit configured to control the damping force of the damper according to a current amount corresponding to a step selected from the multistep switch, the current amount to be applied to a solenoid valve being preset for each step of the multistep switch.
