Abstract

A vehicle of the disclosure includes an apparatus for assisting driving of a host vehicle. The apparatus for assisting driving of the host vehicle includes a display configured to display vehicle driving information; an image obtainer configured to obtain an image of a road; a distance detector configured to detect surrounding objects; and a controller configured to calculate notification information based on the obtained image information of the road, the detected surrounding objects, and the vehicle driving information, and to display the calculated notification information to a driver in real time.

Claims (42)

1. An apparatus for assisting driving of a host vehicle, the apparatus comprising:

a display configured to display vehicle driving information;

an image obtainer configured to obtain an image of a road;

a distance detector configured to detect surrounding objects; and

a controller configured to:

provide notification information based on the image information of the road, the surrounding objects, and the vehicle driving information,

in response to a curved road being included in a driving predicted route of a vehicle, determine that there is a risk of occurrence of an understeer based on a vehicle speed being greater than a preset threshold value, and

display the notification information including the risk of occurrence of the understeer.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to: identify a central axis of a driving lane based on the image information of the road, and simultaneously display the central axis of the driving lane and a central axis of a vehicle.

3. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to:

in response to an unevenness being included in a driving predicted route of a vehicle, determine that there is a risk of occurrence of an impact based on that a vehicle speed is greater than a preset second threshold value, and

display the notification information including the risk of occurrence of the impact.

4. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, based on determining that there is the risk of occurrence of the understeer, the notification information is displayed to the driver in different colors according to an amount the vehicle speed is greater than the preset threshold value.

5. The apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein, based on determining that there is the risk of occurrence of the impact, the notification information is displayed to the driver in different colors according to an amount the vehicle speed is greater than the preset threshold value.

6. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to:

generate divided around views of a vehicle, and

based on an obstacle being detected in any one of the divided around views, differently display a color of the divided around view in which the obstacle is detected.

7. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display comprises at least one of a head up display (HUD), a cluster, an augmented reality navigation, or an augmented reality windshield.

8. A host vehicle including an apparatus of claim 1 .

9. A method for assisting driving of a host vehicle, the method comprising:

obtaining, by an image obtainer, an image of a road;

detecting, by a distance detector, surrounding objects;

providing, by a controller, notification information based on the image information of the road, the surrounding objects, and the vehicle driving information; and

displaying, by the controller, the notification information,

wherein the displaying of the notification information comprises:

in response to a curved road being included in a driving predicted route of a vehicle, determining that there is a risk of occurrence of an understeer based on a vehicle speed being greater than a preset first threshold value; and

displaying the notification information including the risk of occurrence of the understeer.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the displaying of the notification information comprises:

displaying the provided notification information on a display including at least one of a head up display (HUD), a cluster, an augmented reality navigation, or an augmented reality windshield.

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the displaying of the notification information comprises:

identifying a central axis of a driving lane based on the image information of the road; and

simultaneously displaying the central axis of the driving lane and a central axis of a vehicle.

12. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the displaying of the notification information comprises:

in response to an unevenness being included in a driving predicted route of a vehicle, determining that there is a risk of occurrence of an impact based on that a vehicle speed is greater than a preset second threshold value; and

displaying the notification information including the risk of occurrence of the impact.

13. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the displaying of the notification information comprises:

based on determining that there is the risk of occurrence of the understeer, displaying to the driver in different colors according to an amount the vehicle speed is greater than the preset threshold value.

14. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the displaying of the notification information comprises:

based on determining that there is the risk of occurrence of the impact, displaying to the driver in different colors according to an amount the vehicle speed is greater than the preset threshold value.

15. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the displaying of the notification information comprises:

generating divided around views of a vehicle, and

based on an obstacle being detected in any one of the divided around views, differently displaying a color of the divided around view in which the obstacle is detected.
