  • Patent number: 11657712
    Abstract: A method and system for searching for a route using road-shoulder parking state information is provided for a vehicle operating in conjunction with a server via a wireless communication network. The method includes identifying vehicles stopped on a shoulder of a road by analyzing an image captured by a camera and determining a vehicle to be reported as being stopped on the shoulder of the road among the identified vehicles stopped on the shoulder of the road. A road-shoulder stop report message is generated corresponding to the determined vehicle to be reported as being stopped on the shoulder of the road and the road-shoulder stop report message is transmitted to the server.

  • Patent number: 11482113
    Abstract: A vehicle and method of platooning control therefor are provided to achieve optimum communication charge efficiency while a plurality of vehicles perform platooning. A data communication method of a platooning vehicle includes starting platooning by a plurality of vehicles and sharing data charge rate information through a first protocol for vehicle-to-vehicle communication (V2V) by the plurality of vehicles. A first master vehicle and at least one slave vehicle are determined based on the shared data charge rate information. An access point (AP) is then activated according to a second protocol for short distance communication by the first master vehicle and an AP of the master vehicle is accessed and data communication is performed by the at least one slave vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10832572
    Abstract: A system for controlling a vehicle actuated signal includes: a vehicle terminal that transmits actuated signal light information and estimated arrival time information when an actuated signal lane on a travel route is reserved to be used; a telematics server that requests a signal change reservation based on the actuated signal light information and the estimated arrival time information; and a traffic light control server that sets the signal change reservation in response to a request of the telematics server and controls a signal of the actuated signal light based on set reservation information.
