APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING LOCATION AND HEADING INFORMATION OF AUTONOMOUS DRIVING VEHICLE ON ROAD WITHIN HOUSING COMPLEX
First Claim
1. An apparatus for providing location and heading information of an autonomous driving vehicle on a road within a housing complex, comprising:
- an image sensor installed on an autonomous driving vehicle and configured to detect images of surroundings depending on motion of the autonomous driving vehicle;
a wireless communication unit installed on the autonomous driving vehicle and configured to receive a Geographic Information System (GIS) map of inside of a housing complex transmitted from an in-housing complex management device in a wireless manner; and
a location/heading recognition unit installed on the autonomous driving vehicle, and configured to recognize location and heading of the autonomous driving vehicle based on the image information received from the image sensor and the GIS map of the inside of the housing complex received via the wireless communication unit.
