Abstract

A vehicle that provides an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) recommendation function and a method of controlling the vehicle are provided. The vehicle includes a collection unit that is configured to collect behavior information of a driver and a controller that is configured to determine an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) mode recommendable to the driver based on the collected behavior information and to output the determined ADAS mode.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A vehicle, comprising:
a collection unit configured to collect behavior information of a driver;
a communication unit configured to receive traffic information from an external traffic information collecting device;
a controller configured to determine a driver assistance mode recommendable to the driver based on the collected behavior information and the received traffic information; and
an output unit configured to output the determined driver assistance mode,
wherein the collection unit is configured to collect information regarding whether a noise or vibration occurs in a front passenger seat or back seats and a corresponding noise or vibration occurrence time, information regarding whether the driver gazes at a side mirror or a rear view mirror, information regarding an angle of a steering wheel, information regarding whether an accelerator or a brake pedal is engaged and a corresponding operating time of the accelerator or the brake pedal, and information regarding whether a multimedia is manipulated and a corresponding manipulation time.

2. The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the collection unit includes a sound collecting unit, an image collecting unit, a pressure sensor, a heat sensor, a force sensor, a heart rate sensor, and a humidity sensor.

3. The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the output unit is configured to output an explanation regarding the driver assistance mode.

4. The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the output unit includes at least one selected from the group consisting of a display unit and a sound output unit.

5. The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the traffic information collecting device includes at least one selected from a group consisting of an image sensing device, a vehicle detection system (VDS), a fire detector, and smoke removing facilities.

6. The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the communication unit is configured to receive traffic information from a server of a transport system (TS).

7. The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to determine at least one driver assistance mode selected from a group consisting of: Cruise Control (CC), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Parking Assist System (PAS), Traffic Jam Assist (TJA), Autonomous Emergency Braking System (AEB), Highway Driving Assist (HAD), Forward Collision Warning System (FCWS), Emergency Stop System (ESS), Hill Start Assist Control System (HAC), Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS), Blind Spot Detection (BSD), and Narrow Path Assist (NPA) modes, based on the collected behavior information.

8. A method of controlling a vehicle, comprising:
collecting, by a plurality of sensors, behavior information of a driver;
receiving, by a communication unit, traffic information from an external traffic information collecting device;
determining, by a controller, a driver assistance mode recommendable to the driver based on the collected behavior information and the received traffic information; and
outputting, by the controller, the determined driver assistance mode,
wherein the collecting of the behavior information of the driver includes collecting information regarding whether a noise or vibration occurs in a front passenger seat or back seats and a corresponding noise or vibration occurrence time, information regarding whether the driver gazes at a side mirror or a rear view mirror, information regarding an angle of a steering wheel information regarding whether an accelerator or a brake pedal is engaged and a corresponding operating time of the accelerator or the brake pedal, and information regarding whether a multimedia is manipulated and a corresponding manipulation time.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the collecting of the behavior information of the driver includes determining behavior information of the driver based on pre-stored behavior information of the driver.

10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the outputting of the determined driver assistance mode includes outputting the driver assistance mode and explanations about the driver assistance mode.

11. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the external traffic information collecting device includes a server of a transport system (TS).

12. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the determining of the driver assistance mode recommendable to the driver based on the collected behavior information includes determining a at least one driver assistance mode selected from a group consisting of: Cruise Control (CC), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Parking Assist System (PAS), Traffic Jam Assist (TJA), Autonomous Emergency Braking System (AEB), Highway Driving Assist (HAD), Forward Collision Warning System (FCWS), Emergency Stop System (ESS), Hill Start Assist Control System (HAC), Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS), Blind Spot Detection (BSD), and Narrow Path Assist (NPA) modes, based on the collected behavior information.
