Abstract

Disclosed are a device for multiple interactions between moving objects and autonomous vehicles and a driving method thereof. The device for multiple interactions between moving objects and autonomous vehicles includes memory in which a program for multiple interactions between moving objects and autonomous vehicles has been stored and a processor configured to execute the program. The processor confirms the status of the moving object including at least any one of a nearby vehicle, a pedestrian, and a mobility user and transmits a control command for a notification function that shares situation information.

Claims (21)

1 . A device for multiple interactions between moving objects and autonomous vehicles, comprising:

memory in which a program for multiple interactions between moving objects and autonomous vehicles has been stored; and

a processor configured to execute the program,

wherein the processor confirms a status of the moving object comprising at least one of a nearby vehicle, a pedestrian, and a mobility user and transmits a control command for a notification function that shares situation information through an interaction platform mounted on an upper roof region of the autonomous vehicle,

wherein the interaction platform comprises at least one of an image display unit, a text display unit, a vehicle roof center stripe information display unit, and a vehicle side stripe information display unit, and wherein the notification function is configured to provide multi-modal notification through at least two of the vehicle roof center stripe information display unit, the vehicle side stripe information display unit, and an outdoor speaker of the autonomous vehicle.

2 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the processor

performs a situation determination based on the status of the moving object and a status of an autonomous vehicle, and

recognizes mutual intention between the moving object and the autonomous vehicle based on results of the execution of the situation determination.

3 . The device of claim 2 , wherein the processor recognizes the mutual intention based on the status of the moving object, the status of the autonomous vehicle, continuous mutual-reaction information, and non-reaction information.

4 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the processor transmits the control command for the notification function so that information is transmitted through an indoor speaker of the vehicle.

5 . A driving method of a device for multiple interactions between moving objects and autonomous vehicles, the driving method comprising steps of:

(a) obtaining information on an object around an ego vehicle;

(b) performing a situation determination based on a status of the object around the ego vehicle and a status of the ego vehicle;

(c) recognizing mutual intention between the object around the ego vehicle and the ego vehicle; and

(d) providing notification to the object around the ego vehicle based on results of the recognition of the mutual intention through an interaction platform mounted on an upper roof region of the ego vehicle,

wherein the interaction platform comprises at least one of an image display unit, a text display unit, a vehicle roof center stripe information display unit, and a vehicle side stripe information display unit, and wherein the providing notification comprises providing multi-modal notification through at least two of the vehicle roof center stripe information display unit, the vehicle side stripe information display unit, and an outdoor speaker of the ego vehicle.

6 . The driving method of claim 5 , wherein the step (a) comprises obtaining information of a moving object comprising another vehicle, a pedestrian, or a mobility user that is disposed around the ego vehicle by using a camera and a sensor.

7 . The driving method of claim 5 , wherein the step (b) comprises recognizing a status of a nearby object according to a time flow based on information on a position, status, type, direction, speed, and continuous operation situation of the object around the ego vehicle.

8 . The driving method of claim 5 , wherein the step (b) comprises deriving information on a position, movement, status, or intention of the autonomous vehicle based on driving information of the ego vehicle.

9 . The driving method of claim 5 , wherein the step (d) comprises providing notification for the results of the recognition of the mutual intention through an indoor speaker of the vehicle.

10 . The driving method of claim 5 , wherein the results of the recognition of the mutual intention comprise current status information of the vehicle, nearby object and situation recognition information, continuous mutual-reaction information, and non-reaction information.
