System for identifying driving intention of surrounding vehicle and controlling method thereof

1. A vehicle comprising:

a navigation device configured to receive position information of the vehicle;

a communicator configured to receive a detailed map of a road;

a sensor configured to detect an obstacle in the vicinity of the vehicle; and

a controller configured to:

detect at least one adjacent vehicle when the vehicle is located near an intersection, and

identify a driving intention of the adjacent vehicle by matching the driving route of the detected adjacent vehicle with the detailed map of the road,

wherein the controller identifies a driving intention of the adjacent vehicle by matching at least one driving route of the adjacent vehicle from a position in which the adjacent vehicle is initially detected with an actual driving route of the adjacent vehicle,

wherein the controller calculates a degree of similarity of the at least one driving route of the adjacent vehicle, based on a distance and an angle between the at least one route and a unit vector constituting the actual driving route of the adjacent vehicle, and

wherein the controller calculates the degree of similarity based on a distance and an angle between at least one driving route segment constituting the at least one driving route, and at least one time sequential unit vector constituting the actual driving route of the adjacent vehicle.

2. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the controller selects a route having a minimum degree of similarity among the calculated degree of similarity on the at least one driving route, as the driving route of the adjacent vehicle.

3. The vehicle of claim 2 , wherein the controller identifies a case in which the selected driving route passes through a driving route of the vehicle or a case in which the selected driving route of the adjacent vehicle joins in the driving route of the vehicle, as a dangerous situation.

4. The vehicle of claim 3 , wherein, when the dangerous situation is identified, the controller performs a braking control or a steering control of the vehicle.

5. The vehicle of claim 1 wherein, when receiving the detailed map of the road, the communicator acquires a detailed map including information related to lanes at an intersection, and information related to right turn, straight drive or left turn for each lane.

6. The vehicle of claim 5 , wherein the at least one driving route comprises a right turn route, a straight drive route or a left turn route at the intersection.

7. A control method of a vehicle comprising steps of: receiving, by a navigation device, position information of the vehicle; and receiving, by a communicator, a detailed map of a road, wherein the control method, performed by a controller, comprises:

detecting an obstacle in the vicinity of the vehicle;

detecting at least one adjacent vehicle when the vehicle is located near an intersection; and

identifying a driving intention of the adjacent vehicle by matching a route of the detected adjacent vehicle with the detailed map of the road,

wherein the step of identifying a driving intention comprises, performed by the controller:

matching at least one driving route from a position in which the adjacent vehicle is initially detected, with an actual driving route of the adjacent vehicle,

calculating a distance and an angle between the at least one driving route and a unit vector constituting the actual driving route of the adjacent vehicle, and

calculating a degree of similarity between the at least one driving route and the actual driving route of the adjacent vehicle, based on the calculated distance and angle, and

wherein the step of calculating a degree of similarity comprises calculating the degree of similarity by the controller based on a distance and an angle between at least one route segment constituting the at least one driving route, and at least one time sequential unit vector constituting the actual driving route of the adjacent vehicle.

8. The control method of claim 7 , wherein the step of identifying a driving intention further comprises selecting a route having a minimum degree of similarity among the calculated degree of similarity on the at least one driving route, as the driving route of the adjacent vehicle.

9. The control method of claim 8 , further comprising identifying a case in which the selected driving route passes through a driving route of the vehicle or a case in which the selected driving route of the adjacent vehicle joins in the driving route of the vehicle, as a dangerous situation.

10. The control method of claim 9 , further comprising performing a braking control or a steering control of the vehicle, when the dangerous situation is identified.

11. The control method of claim 7 , wherein the step of matching at least one driving route comprises matching the actual driving route of the adjacent vehicle with a right turn route, a straight drive route or a left turn route at the intersection, and

wherein the detailed map of the road comprises information related to lanes at the intersection, and information related to right turn, straight drive or left turn for each lane.
