automatically convert the platooning state into a text;

display the text on the chat window;

display interactive data of each of a plurality of platooning members in the chat window in text form; and

display a text matched with each of the plurality of platooning members in the chat window,

wherein:

the platooning vehicles include a leading vehicle and a following vehicle, and

when the following vehicle requests the leading vehicle to depart from a platooning line, the leading vehicle approves departure of the following vehicle from the platooning line,

wherein the processor is further configured:

not to display the following vehicle in the chat window when the following vehicle departs the platooning line; and

to modify and display positions of remaining platooning vehicles changed due to the following vehicle departing the platooning line.

2. The platooning management device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to display chat contents input by a user on the chat window.

3. The platooning management device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to determine the platooning state based on at least one of a platoon input switch signal, a platooning mode signal, a platooning path, a forward vehicle driving condition, or a road and environment condition.

4. The platooning management device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to: receive a voice from a user, convert the voice into a text, and display the text on the chat window.

5. The platooning management device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to: display the text on the chat window in a platoon chat time sequence or based on each platoon chat entity.

6. The platooning management device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to display platoon chat entities on the chat window in the order of a platooning line.

7. The platooning management device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to display a text input from a host vehicle and a text input from another vehicle on the chat window to differently distinguish at least one of a color, a size, a thickness, a font, or a display location.

8. The platooning management device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to display a text indicating the platooning state and a text of chat contents input by a user on the chat window to differently distinguish at least one of a color, a size, a thickness, a font, or a display location.

9. A server, comprising:

a communicator configured to communicate with platooning vehicles;

a processor configured to form platooning states of all of the platooning vehicles in a time sequence or for each entity in an interactive manner based on platooning history information received from each of the platooning vehicles; and

a storage configured to store information received via the communicator and platooning member information obtained by the processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

perform tracking management and accident management based on a platooning state formed in the interactive manner;

display interactive data of each of a plurality of platooning members in a chat window in text form; and

display a text matched with each of the plurality of platooning members in the chat window,

wherein:

the platooning vehicles include a leading vehicle and a following vehicle, and

when the following vehicle requests the leading vehicle to depart from a platooning line, the leading vehicle approves departure of the following vehicle from the platooning line, and

wherein the processor is further configured:

not to display the following vehicle in a chat window displayed in the platooning vehicles when the following vehicle departs the platooning line; and

to modify and display positions of remaining platooning vehicles changed due to the following vehicle departing the platooning line.

10. The server of claim 9 , wherein the processor is configured to form platooning states of all of the platooning vehicles in the interactive manner using a text message received from each of the platooning vehicles.

11. The server of claim 9 , wherein the communicator is configured to receive at least one of a text message, platooning location information, a driving road condition, or a driving environment condition from the platooning vehicles.

12. The server of claim 9 , wherein the processor is configured to: assign a rating for each of the platooning vehicles based on an achievement ratio of a driving distance to a predetermined target distance when the platooning vehicles depart from a platooning line and whether there is a risk avoidance situation during platooning, and store and manage the rating.

13. A platooning management method, comprising:

determining, by a processor, a platooning state and automatically converting the platooning state into a text;

receiving, by the processor, a platoon chat from a user;

displaying, by a display, platoon chat contents received from platooning vehicles, the automatically converted text indicating the platooning state, and a platoon chat input from the user on a chat window in which all of platooning members participate;

displaying, by the processor, interactive data of each of a plurality of platooning members in the chat window in text form; and

displaying, by the processor, a text matched with each of the plurality of platooning members in the chat window,

wherein displaying on the chat window includes:

receiving, from a following vehicle among the platooning vehicles, a request to depart from a platooning line,

approving, by a leading vehicle among the platooning vehicles, departure of the following vehicle from the platooning line,

removing the following vehicle in a chat window displayed in the platooning vehicles when the following vehicle departs the platooning line; and

modifying and displaying positions of remaining platooning vehicles changed due to the following vehicle departing the platooning line.

14. The platooning management method of claim 13 , wherein automatically converting the platooning state into the text includes:

determining the platooning state based on at least one of a platoon input switch signal, a platooning mode signal, a platooning path, a forward vehicle driving condition, or a road and environment condition.

15. The platooning management method of claim 13 , wherein receiving the platoon chat from the user includes:

receiving text; or

converting a voice input from the user into a text.

16. The platooning management method of claim 13 , wherein displaying on the chat window includes:

displaying the text on the chat window in a platoon chat time sequence or based on a platoon chat entity.

17. The platooning management method of claim 13 , wherein displaying on the chat window includes:

displaying platoon chat entities on the chat window in the order of a platooning line.

18. The platooning management method of claim 13 , wherein displaying on the chat window includes:

displaying a text input from a host vehicle and a text input from another vehicle on the chat window to differently distinguish at least one of a color, a size, a thickness, a font, or a display location.

19. The platooning management method of claim 13 , wherein displaying on the chat window includes:

displaying a text indicating the platooning state and a text of chat contents input by the user on the chat window to differently distinguish at least one of a color, a size, a thickness, a font, or a display location.
