Abstract

The present disclosure provides a vehicle and method for controlling the same. The vehicle includes: an input unit configured to receive a command to select a traveling mode; a controller configured to determine an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) setting parameter based on a traveling mode selected through the input unit and a driving pattern of a driver; and a display configured to display setting information regarding the determined ADAS setting parameter.

Claims (39)

1. A vehicle comprising:

an input device configured to receive a command to select a traveling mode;

a plurality of sensors configured to detect traveling information;

a controller configured to determine a driving pattern of a driver by quantifying the detected traveling information, the driving pattern being represented in numerical value having a sign and magnitude and select one of a plurality of Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) modes based on the selected traveling mode and the sign of the driving pattern or select one of the plurality of ADAS modes based on the selected traveling mode and the sign and the magnitude of the driving pattern, and determine at least one ADAS setting parameter corresponding to the selected ADAS mode; and

a display configured to display setting information regarding the determined ADAS setting parameter.

2. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to determine a traveling parameter based on the selected traveling mode.

3. The vehicle of claim 2 , further comprising:

a driving device configured to provide power to move the vehicle; and

a suspension system configured to absorb external force applied during traveling,

wherein the controller is configured to control the driving device and the suspension system according to the determined traveling parameter.

4. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of sensors is configured to detect the traveling information based on at least one of a position of an accelerator pedal, a position of a brake pedal, a traveling speed, or a steering angle.

5. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to determine the ADAS setting parameter including at least one of a point of warning of collision with an object ahead, a point of deceleration to avoid collision with the object ahead, a method for preventing lane departure, a point of warning of collision with an object behind or to a side of the vehicle, time for acceleration to a target speed, or a safety distance to a vehicle ahead.

6. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to select one of first ADAS modes corresponding to a first traveling mode according to the driving pattern, when the first traveling mode is selected.

7. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to select one of second ADAS modes corresponding to a second traveling mode according to the driving pattern, when the second traveling mode is selected.

8. The vehicle of claim 1 , further comprising:

at least one ADAS module operating according to the determined ADAS setting parameter.

9. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the controller quantifies a first parameter B 1 and a second parameter B 2 , and assigns a first weight a to the first parameter B 1 and a second weight b to the second parameter B 2 , such that the numerical value of the driving pattern is represented by B in the equation B=a*B 1 +b*B 2 .

10. The vehicle of claim 9 , wherein the first parameter B 1 is steering wheel angle, and the second parameter B 2 is accelerator or brake position.

11. A method for controlling a vehicle, the method comprising:

receiving, by an input device, a command to select a traveling mode;

detecting traveling information;

determining a driving pattern of a driver by quantifying the detected traveling information, the driving pattern being represented in numerical value having a sign and magnitude;

selecting, by a controller, one of a plurality of Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) modes based on the selected traveling mode and the sign the driving pattern or selecting, by the controller, one of the plurality of ADAS modes based on the selected traveling mode and the sign and the magnitude of the driving pattern;

determining a traveling parameter based on the selected traveling mode;

performing at least one of operations of providing power to move the vehicle according to the determined traveling parameter, or absorbing external force applied during traveling according to the determined traveling parameter;

determining at least one ADAS setting parameter corresponding to the selected ADAS mode; and

displaying setting information regarding the determined ADAS setting parameter.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein detecting the traveling information comprises:

detecting the traveling information based on at least one of a position of an accelerator pedal, a position of a brake pedal, a traveling speed, or a steering angle.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein determining the ADAS setting parameter comprises:

determining the ADAS setting parameter including at least one of a point of warning of collision with an object ahead, a point of deceleration to avoid collision with the object ahead, a method for preventing lane departure, a point of warning of collision with an object behind or to a side of the vehicle, time for acceleration to a target speed, or a safety distance to a vehicle ahead.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein selecting one of a plurality of ADAS modes comprises:

selecting one of first ADAS modes that corresponds to a first traveling mode according to the driving pattern, when the first traveling mode is selected.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein selecting one of a plurality of ADAS modes comprises:

selecting one of second ADAS modes that corresponds to a second traveling mode according to the driving pattern, when the second traveling mode is selected.

16. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

traveling according to the determined ADAS setting parameter.

17. The method of claim 11 , wherein quantifying the detected traveling information comprises quantifying a first parameter B 1 and a second parameter B 2 , and assigning a first weight a to the first parameter B 1 and a second weight b to the second parameter B 2 , such that the numerical value of the driving pattern is represented by B in the equation B=a*B 1 +b*B 2 .

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the first parameter B 1 is steering wheel angle, and the second parameter B 2 is accelerator or brake position.
