  • Patent number: 11981310
    Abstract: A vehicle rear warning system includes: a driving information detection portion that collects information measured from a radar and a camera sensor in a reverse mode of a vehicle; and a controller that separates a danger zone and a safe zone with reference to a fixed obstacle at a rear of the vehicle by performing fusion of the information measured from the radar and the camera in the reverse mode of the vehicle, and generates a collision event and controls warning and braking when a moving object approaching from the danger zone is detected, while limiting the warning and braking for a moving object existing in the safe zone.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20230011158
    Abstract: An embodiment vehicle includes a camera installed in the vehicle to have a front view of the vehicle, a steering device, and a processor configured to determine whether a road has an inclination in a transverse direction based on image data obtained by the camera and to control the steering device to compensate for the inclination in the transverse direction in response to a determination that the road has the inclination in the transverse direction.

  • Patent number: 9975555
    Abstract: A method for preventing damage to a driving system in vehicles may include determining whether a 4-wheel drive vehicle turns based on a steering angle signal, determining, based on an accelerator opening rate signal of the vehicle, whether a maximum torque causing damage to front wheel driveshafts is produced, checking a bump stroke amount of the vehicle and determining whether the front wheel driveshafts are likely to be damaged by a maximum torque transferred to the front wheel driveshafts when the vehicle turns, and lowering, when the front wheel driveshafts are likely to be damaged, a maximum torque of a 4-wheel drive torque applied to the front wheel driveshafts.

  • Patent number: 9620018
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for controlling lane keeping of a vehicle. An apparatus for controlling lane keeping of a vehicle may include: a sensor module configured to measure a torque value of a vehicle; a control module configured to determine a hands off state based on the measured torque value and generate a warning alarm for the hands off state when the vehicle is in the hands off state and is in a predetermined specific state; and an output module configured to generate the warning alarm.

  • Publication number: 20150149057
    Abstract: A system and method for protecting a drive shaft that include a vehicle state detector configured to detect vehicle information including currently selected shift speed, hydraulic pressure signal detected by a hydraulic pressure detector mounted to a hydraulic pressure power steering assembly, vehicle speed, and engine RPM. In addition, a traction controller is configured to analyze the vehicle information delivered from the vehicle state detector and request reduction of torque when a predetermined condition is satisfied. An engine controller is configured to reduce output torque of an engine based on torque reduction requested by the traction controller to cause the torque applied to the drive shaft to be less than a limit torque.
