System and method for providing driving guidance service to vehicles
First Claim
1. A system for remotely controlling a vehicle in a service area divided into plural service sectors, comprising:
- an infra sensor module installed in each service sector for periodically sensing obstacles and vehicles within the service sector;
a vehicle controller mounted in each vehicle for requesting a driving guidance service and automatically controlling the vehicle in accordance with a vehicle control signal;
a local server installed in each service sector for communicating with the vehicle controllers through a driving guidance network based on information on the obstacles and vehicles sensed by the infra sensor module; and
a global server for allocating network resources of the driving guidance network to allow the local server to communicate with the vehicle controllers using the allocated network resources,wherein the global server includes;
a network interface for communicating with the local servers;
a wireless resource allocation unit for allocating a communication time interval and a dedicated frequency band of the network resources of the driving guidance network to a vehicle requesting the driving guidance service to each local server; and
a handover management unit for detecting movement of the vehicle from a service sector where the vehicle has been served the driving guidance service to another service sector and transmitting a handover command to a local server in the another service sector.

11. A method for a driving guidance service periodically to remotely control vehicles in a service area divided into plural service sectors, each vehicle having a vehicle controller mounted therein to request for the driving guidance service, comprising:
-
detecting obstacles and vehicles periodically within each service sector; generating, at a local server, a remote control signal based on information about the obstacles and vehicles sensed by an infra sensor module within each service sector; and transmitting, at the local server, the remote control signal to the vehicle controller which had requested the driving guidance service, wherein said allocating a local server further includes; detecting movement of the vehicle from a service sector where the vehicle has been served the driving guidance service to another service sector; and transmitting a handover command to a local server in the another service sector. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
