Abstract

Vehicle having dangerous situation notification function and control method, where the method includes monitoring a vicinity of a host vehicle, detecting a movable object in the vicinity of the host vehicle, predicting a dangerous situation in which a collision between the host vehicle and the object is expected, and displaying a warning mark on at least one of a roadway or a wall surface in a projection mapping method in response to the dangerous situation. One or more of an autonomous vehicle, a user terminal, and a server may be in conjunction with an Artificial Intelligence (AI) module, an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), an Augmented Reality (AR) device, a Virtual Reality (VR) device, and a device related to a 5G service, etc.

Claims (22)

1. A control method of a vehicle, the method comprising:

monitoring a vicinity of the vehicle;

detecting one or more moving objects in the vicinity of the vehicle;

predicting a dangerous situation in which a collision between the one or more moving objects or between the vehicle and the one or more moving objects is expected; and

projecting a warning mark on at least one of a roadway surface or a wall surface using projection mapping in response to predicting the dangerous situation,

wherein the one or more objects includes a first adjacent vehicle and a second adjacent vehicle, and predicting the dangerous situation includes:

predicting a first moving line of the first adjacent vehicle and a second moving line of the second adjacent vehicle; and

predicting a collision risk between the first and second adjacent vehicles based on the predicted moving lines of the first and second adjacent vehicles,

wherein predicting the dangerous situation further includes determining whether one the first or second adjacent vehicles is violating a driving signal or rule, and

wherein the warning mark is projected in front of the other of the first or second adjacent vehicles that is not violating the driving signal or rule.

2. The control method of claim 1 , wherein predicting the dangerous situation further includes determining whether the first adjacent vehicle or second adjacent vehicle is located in a blind spot with respect to each other.

3. A vehicle having a warning function, the vehicle comprising:

a lighting device configured to project a warning mark onto a surface using projection mapping;

an object detector configured to monitor a vicinity of the vehicle; and

one or more processors configured to:

detect one or more moving objects in the vicinity of the vehicle based on information from the object detector;

predict a dangerous situation in which a collision between the one or more moving objects or between the vehicle and the one or more moving objects is expected; and

control the lighting device to project the warning mark on at least one of a roadway surface or a wall surface using projection mapping in response to predicting the dangerous situation,

wherein the one or more moving objects includes a first adjacent vehicle and a second adjacent vehicle,

wherein the one or more processors is further configured to predict a first moving line of the first adjacent vehicle and a second moving line of the second adjacent vehicle; predict a collision risk between the first and second adjacent vehicles based on the predicted moving lines of the first and second adjacent vehicles; and determine whether one of the first or second adjacent vehicles is violating a driving signal or rule, and

wherein the warning mark is projected in front of the other of the first or second adjacent vehicle that is not violating the driving signal or rule.

4. The vehicle of claim 3 , wherein the one or more processors is further configured to predict the dangerous condition based on a determination whether the first adjacent vehicle or the second adjacent vehicle is located in a blind spot with respect to each other.
