Abstract

A method for transmitting, by a user equipment, a message for a vulnerable road user (VRU) in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method may comprise: receiving a first message including an expected time to pass (TTP) of a vehicle regarding a predetermined location on an expected route of the VRU; on the basis of i) the first message and ii) the TTP of the VRU regarding the predetermined location, generating a virtual VRU at the predetermined location; and transmitting a second message including the virtual VRU.

First claim

1 . A method of transmitting a message for a Vulnerable Road User (VRU) by a user equipment in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving a first message including a Time To Pass (TTP) of a vehicle for a prescribed position on a predicted path of the VRU; generating a virtual VRU in the prescribed position based on i) the first message and ii) the TTP of the VRU for the prescribed position; and transmitting a second message including the virtual VRU.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second message further comprises a possibility of a collision between the vehicle and the VRU based on a difference between the TTP of the vehicle and the TTP of the VRU.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving type information on the prescribed position from a network node, wherein the virtual VRU is generated further based on the type information.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving time offset information or distance offset information for generating the virtual VRU from a network node, wherein the virtual VRU is generated further based on the time offset information or the distance offset information.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a third message allowing the VRU to pass the prescribed position from the vehicle or the network node in response to the transmission of the second message.

6 . The method of claim 1 , the generating the virtual VRU, further comprising:
determining that the prescribed position exists on a road including a plurality of lanes; and generating the virtual VRU in each of a plurality of positions where a plurality of the lanes and a predicted path of the VRU cross with each other.

7 . A method of receiving a message for a Vulnerable Road User (VRU) by a vehicle in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving a message including a Time To Pass (TTP) of the VRU for a prescribed position on a path of the vehicle; and outputting a warning for a driver of the vehicle based on the TTP of the VRU for the prescribed position and the TTP of the vehicle for the prescribed position, wherein the warning varies depending on a difference between i) the TTP of the VRU for the prescribed position and ii) the TTP of the vehicle for the prescribed position.

8 . The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
determining whether a speed of the vehicle is maintained in response to the warning output; and decelerating the vehicle by controlling a brake system based on the determination.

9 . The method of claim 7 , further comprising receiving traffic signal information of the prescribed position at the TTP of the VRU from a network node, wherein the warning further includes the traffic signal information

10 . The method of claim 7 , further comprising receiving a message including information on a predicted position of the VRU based on the TTP of the vehicle, wherein the warning for the driver of the vehicle is outputted further based on the information on the predicted position of the VRU.

11 . A user equipment transmitting a message for a Vulnerable Road User (VRU) in a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising:
a transceiver; and a processor connected to the transceiver, wherein the processor is configured to receive a first message including a Time To Pass (TTP) of a vehicle for a prescribed position on a predicted path of the VRU through the transceiver, generate a virtual VRU in the prescribed position based on i) the first message and ii) the TTP of the VRU for the prescribed position, and transmit a second message including the virtual VRU through the transceiver.

12 . The user equipment of claim 11 , wherein the second message further comprises a possibility of a collision between the vehicle and the VRU based on a difference between the TTP of the vehicle and the TTP of the VRU.

13 . The user equipment of claim 11 , wherein the processor receives type information on the prescribed position from a network node through the transceiver and generates the virtual VRU further based on the type information.

14 . The user equipment of claim 11 , wherein the processor receives time offset information or distance offset information for generating the virtual VRU from a network node and generates the virtual VRU further based on the time offset information or the distance offset information.

15 . The user equipment of claim 11 , wherein the processor receives a third message allowing the VRU to pass the prescribed position from the vehicle or the network node through the transceiver in response to the transmission of the second message.

16 . The user equipment of claim 11 , wherein the processor determines that the prescribed position exists on a road including a plurality of lanes and generates the virtual VRU in each of a plurality of positions where a plurality of the lanes and a predicted path of the VRU cross with each other.
