Apparatus for gathering surroundings information of vehicle
First Claim
1. An apparatus for gathering information about surroundings of a vehicle, comprising:
- a vehicle sensor data collector configured to gather first information about surroundings of the vehicle from one or more sensors mounted on the vehicle;
a roadside equipment data collector configured to gather second information about surroundings of the vehicle from a roadside communication device installed on a driving infrastructure;
a processor for data integration configured;
to classify the first information about surroundings and the second information about surroundings for predefined data types,determine whether or not to integrate the classified first information or the classified second information based on a preset reliability criterion, andintegrate or delete the classified first information or the classified second information based on the determination of whether or not to integrate the classified first information or the classified second information,wherein the processor for data integration decides to delete the classified first information or the classified second information having a lower reliability than the preset reliability criterion; and
an automatic vehicle controller configured to utilize the integrated managed information about surroundings, wherein the automatic vehicle controller applies the integrated managed information about the surroundings to automate control for the vehicle.
