Abstract

A braking control system and a method for a vehicle are provided. The braking control method includes sensing, by a controller, a rear-side collision risk and a lane change and determining a lane change intention based on a steering change of a vehicle. In addition, the controller is configured to determine a braking control for the vehicle and a magnitude of the braking control for the vehicle based on the rear-side collision risk and the lane change, and the lane change intention.

Claims (30)

1. A braking control system for a vehicle, the system comprising:

a radar configured to collect sensing information to sense a rear-side collision risk;

an imaging device configured to collect information to sense a lane change; and

a controller configured to:

determine a lane change intention based on a degree of a steering change of the vehicle during the rear-side collision risk and the lane change;

operate a steering device to adjust the steering change of the vehicle; and

adjust a magnitude of an auto-brake control and a magnitude of a braking control time for the vehicle by a braking device according to the lane change intention.

2. The braking control system for a vehicle of claim 1 , further comprising:

a vehicle speed sensor configured to sense a vehicle speed,

wherein the controller is configured to automatically brake the vehicle when the speed of the vehicle is a predetermined speed or greater, and stop the automatic braking when the speed of the vehicle is less than the predetermined speed.

3. The braking control system for a vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to reduce the braking control time for the vehicle to a predetermined magnitude or less based on the lane change intention.

4. The braking control system for a vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to adjust a magnitude of an amount of side brake during the automatic braking based on the lane change intention.

5. A braking control method of a braking control system for a vehicle, the method comprising:

sensing, by a controller, a rear-side collision risk collected by a radar and a lane change sensed by an imaging device;

determining, by the controller, a lane change intention based on a steering change of the vehicle collected by a steering device;

determining, by the controller, a braking control for the vehicle;

operating, by the controller, the steering device to adjust the steering change of the vehicle; and

adjusting, by the controller, a magnitude of the braking control and magnitude of a braking control time for the vehicle based on the rear-side collision risk and the lane change, and the lane change intention.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

sensing, by the controller, a vehicle speed,

automatically braking, by the controller, the vehicle when the speed of the vehicle is a predetermined speed or greater; and

stopping, by the controller, the automatic braking of the vehicle when the speed of the vehicle is less than the predetermined speed.

7. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

adjusting, by the controller, at least one of the magnitude of braking control time for the vehicle and a magnitude of amount of side brake during the automatic braking based on the lane change intention.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

reducing, by the controller, the braking control time for the vehicle to a predetermined magnitude or less in response to determining a lane change intention.

9. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

stopping, by the controller, the automatic braking of the vehicle when a rear collision risk of the vehicle is reduced to a predetermined magnitude or less due to an acceleration;

stopping, by the controller, the automatic braking of the vehicle when the vehicle returns to an original lane based on an operation of the steering device; and

stopping, by the controller, the automatic braking of the vehicle when the operation of a steering device having a predetermined magnitude or greater is generated.
