APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MANAGING CONTROL AUTHORITY TRANSITION IN VEHICLE
First Claim
1. An apparatus for managing control authority transition in a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- a steering device;
an acceleration device;
a deceleration device;
a sensor configured to sense information about a driver of the vehicle; and
a control circuit configured to be electrically connected with the steering device, the acceleration device, the deceleration device, and the sensor,wherein the control circuit is configured to;
obtain state information about the driver using the sensor when performing an autonomous control;
receive, from the driver, a control input to at least one of the steering device, the acceleration device, or the deceleration device;
determine whether to transfer a control authority based on the state information and a reliability of the control input; and
transfer, to the driver, the control authority, when it is determined to transfer the control authority.

Abstract
An apparatus for managing control authority transition in a vehicle is provided. The apparatus includes a steering device, an acceleration device, a deceleration device, a sensor configured to sense information about a driver of the vehicle, and a control circuit electrically connected with the steering device, the acceleration device, the deceleration device, and the sensor. The control circuit is configured to obtain state information about the driver using the sensor when performing an autonomous control, to receive a control input by the driver to at least one of the steering device, the acceleration device, or the deceleration device, to determine whether to transfer a control authority based on the state information and a reliability of the control input, and to transfer the control authority to the driver when the control authority is determined to transfer.

13. A method for managing control authority transition in a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
obtaining, with a control circuit, state information about a driver of the vehicle when performing an autonomous control; receiving, with the control circuit, a control input by the driver to at least one of a steering device, an acceleration device, or a deceleration device, wherein the steering device, the acceleration device, and the deceleration device are included in the vehicle; determining, with the control circuit, whether to transfer a control authority based on the state information and a reliability of the control input; and when the control authority is determined to transfer, transferring, with the control circuit, the control authority to the driver. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
