  • Patent number: 8907839
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method and a system for recognizing a space of a road shoulder using an ultrasonic wave sensor, a radar and an imaging device. The method includes: controlling the radar to transmit a radar beam within a preset range based on the vehicle location; detecting a fixed object located within the preset range using a reflective wave of the radar beam received by the radar; calculating a distance between the fixed object and the vehicle using the radar when the fixed object is located within the preset range; detecting a solid line lane marking in a front image of a travel lane obtained from the imaging device; and recognizing the calculated distance between the fixed object and the vehicle as a space width of the road shoulder when the solid line lane is in the front image of the travel lane.

  • Patent number: 8744740
    Abstract: A method of detecting a location of an opposing vehicle using Global Positioning System (GPS) information in which pieces of GPS raw data and pieces of GPS post-processing data of a driver's vehicle and of an opposing vehicle are received. It is determined using the received GPS post-processing data whether the opposing vehicle is a vehicle that has entered a predetermined range. If it is determined that the opposing vehicle is a vehicle that has entered the predetermined range, it is determined whether common data is present in the pieces of GPS raw data of the driver's vehicle and of the opposing vehicle by comparing the pieces of GPS raw data with each other. A degree of proximity to the opposing vehicle is using the common data in the pieces of GPS raw data of the driver's vehicle and the opposing vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20140118182
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of recognizing the location of a current lane in which a vehicle is traveling, using a radar and an imaging device. The method includes: detecting the locations of the fixed objects using an object detector; capturing a photograph of the road surface ahead using an imaging device; calculating, by a controller, the entire width of a traveling road based on the locations of the fixed objects at the left side and the right side; calculating, by the controller the width of a traveling lane from the photograph of the road surface; and calculating, by the controller, the lane in which the vehicle is traveling based on the calculated width of the traveling lane and the entire width of the traveling road.

  • Publication number: 20130116908
    Abstract: A method and system of controlling a relative position between vehicles using a mobile base station is provided. GPS information is received from a satellite at a mobile base station and a target vehicle. The current position information the mobile base station is calculated with reference to a moving speed and direction based on the received GPS information. DGPS correction data is then generated by calculating the calculated position information and the received GPS information through a preset algorithm and the generated DGPS correction data is transmitted to one or more target vehicles. In the control target vehicle, the transmitted DGPS correction data is received, GPS information is received from a satellite, position information is calculated based on the received GPS information and the received DGPS correction data to execute position correction, and a speed and direction of the control target vehicle is adjusted according to the calculated position information.

  • Publication number: 20100244110
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a first transistor, a second transistor, an insulation interlayer pattern and a capacitor. The first transistor is formed in a first region of a substrate. The first transistor has a pillar protruding upwardly from the substrate and an impurity region provided in an upper portion of the pillar. The second transistor is formed in a second region of the substrate. The insulation interlayer pattern is formed on the first region and the second region to cover the second transistor and expose an upper surface of the pillar. The insulation interlayer pattern has an upper surface substantially higher than the upper surface of the pillar in the first region.
