APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GUIDING INTERSECTION ENTRY AND STANDBY TIME
First Claim
1. An apparatus for guiding an intersection entry and a standby time, comprising:
- a data receiver for receiving a control signal transmitted from an traffic signal control system;
a vehicle travel information acquisition unit for acquiring a traveling direction and a travel speed of a vehicle;
a data analyzing unit for analyzing whether the vehicle can enter the intersection by analyzing position information and the traveling direction of the vehicle and the control signal to calculate an entry time into and a distance to the intersection or a standby time of the vehicle; and
a data output unit for providing whether to enter the intersection or the standby time of the vehicle to a driver of the vehicle.

7. A method of guiding an intersection entry and a standby time, comprising:
-
analyzing travel information and position information of a vehicle when a vehicle starts to travel; when an intersection control signal is received during traveling of the vehicle, determining whether a current traffic signal is a go signal by analyzing the intersection control signal; calculating an entry time to the intersection and a remaining time of the go signal when the traffic signal is the go signal; and outputting the remaining time of the go signal and an intersection entry message allowing entering the intersection or a slow-travel and stopping guide message based on the calculated entry time and the remaining time of the go signal. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)
