  • Patent number: 12479465
    Abstract: An autonomous driving control method receives a HD map and extracts a HD road boundary and a HD lane line based on the HD map. A real-time map displaying a road driving environment of a vehicle is generated using sensor information detected by a sensor mounted on the vehicle. A real-time road boundary and a real-time lane are extracted based on the generated real-time map. The HD road boundary is compared to and analyzed from the real-time road boundary, and the HD lane line is compared and analyzed to the real-time lane. It is determined whether the HD map has changed based on the analyzed result value.

  • Publication number: 20250206339
    Abstract: An apparatus for controlling autonomous driving of a vehicle is introduced. The apparatus may comprise a GPS receiver, a memory storing a high-definition (HD) map, at least one sensor for sensing surroundings of the vehicle, and a processor. The processor is configured to estimate the vehicle's position based on GPS information, HD map information, and sensor information. The apparatus further determines one or more road boundaries based on a line of sight (LOS) condition, which is verified using the estimated position. A filtering target is selected from the road boundaries based on a reference boundary. A driving distance traveled by the vehicle is set periodically at predetermined intervals based on the filtering target. A signal associated with the periodically set driving distance is output, and autonomous driving of the vehicle is controlled based on the signal.

  • Publication number: 20250065910
    Abstract: An apparatus for controlling an autonomous driving of a vehicle is introduced. The apparatus may comprise, a controller and memory storing instructions, when executed by the controller, configured to cause the apparatus to, receive global positioning system (GPS) information, High Definition (HD) map information, road information, and sensor information, wherein the GPS information, the HD map information, and the road information are related to one or more roads ahead of the vehicle, generate, based on the GPS information, the HD map information, road information, and the sensor information, road change information, wherein the road change information is related to whether a driving road which the vehicle travels on is changed to or from a road, and wherein the road is associated with a preset class, and output, based on the road change information, a signal for controlling the autonomous driving of the vehicle.
