Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method for controlling driving of a vehicle using driving information of a forward vehicle includes: storing, by a server, driving pattern information of the forward vehicle; updating, by the server, the driving pattern information of the forward vehicle including maximum fuel efficiency; and controlling, by a controller of a following vehicle, driving of the following vehicle based on the driving pattern information of the forward vehicle.

Claims

1. A method for controlling driving of a second vehicle using driving pattern information of a first vehicle, comprising:

storing, by a server, the driving pattern information of the first vehicle, wherein the first vehicle is a forward vehicle driving ahead of the second vehicle;

updating, by the server, the driving pattern information of the first vehicle, wherein the driving information of the first vehicle comprises maximum fuel efficiency; and

controlling, by a controller of the second vehicle, the driving of the second vehicle based on the driving pattern information of the first vehicle, wherein the second vehicle is a following vehicle driving behind the first vehicle.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the driving pattern information of the first vehicle comprises:

a speed of each vehicle of a plurality of forward vehicles;

an average value of an acceleration pedal position sensor (APS) value or a brake pedal position sensor (BPS) value of each vehicle of the plurality of forward vehicles based on a distance that each vehicle of the plurality of forward vehicles travels; and

a standard deviation value of the speed of each vehicle of the plurality of forward vehicles, the APS value or the BPS value of each vehicle of the plurality of forward vehicles based on the distance that each vehicle of the plurality of forward vehicles travels.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein controlling the driving of the second vehicle comprises:

when the second vehicle includes a hybrid vehicle, controlling, by the controller of the second vehicle, an on-state or an off-state of an engine of the hybrid vehicle based on the driving pattern information of the first vehicle.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

transmitting, by the first vehicle, the driving pattern information of the first vehicle to the server, wherein the first vehicle collects the driving pattern information of the first vehicle based on a predetermined road distance.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

transmitting, by the controller of the second vehicle, driving pattern information of the second vehicle to the server, wherein the driving pattern information of the second vehicle comprises fuel efficiency of the second vehicle, and wherein the driving pattern information of the second vehicle is used for a vehicle driving behind the second vehicle.

5. The method of claim her comprising:

transmitting, by the first vehicle, the driving pattern information of the first vehicle to the server, wherein the first vehicle collects the driving pattern information of the first vehicle based on a predetermined time.
