First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus for controlling lane keeping of a vehicle, comprising:
- a sensor module configured to measure a torque value of the vehicle;
a control module configured to determine a hands off state based on the measured torque value and generate a warning alarm for the hands off state when the vehicle is in the hands off state and in a predetermined specific state; and
an output module configured to output the warning alarm,wherein the control module is configured to determine that the predetermined specific state occurs when the vehicle is within a predetermined distance of a lane on a driving road.

5. A method for controlling lane keeping of a vehicle, comprising:
-
calculating by a control module a torque value of a driving vehicle measured by a sensor module; determining by the control module a hands off state based on the calculated torque value; determining by the control module whether the vehicle is in the hands off state and is in a predetermined specific state; determining by the control module whether a lane keeping assist system is unavailable; and generating and outputting from the control module a warning alarm for the hands off state to an output module when the vehicle is within a predetermined distance of a lane on a driving road. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)

8. A lane keeping apparatus for a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
-
a sensor module configured to measure a torque value of the vehicle; and a control module configured to determine when a hands off state occurs based on a calculated torque value and to receive a state signal of a lane keeping assist system, the control module further configured to calculate a distance between the vehicle and a lane on a road on which the vehicle is running, wherein when the hands off state occurs for more than a predetermined amount of time, the control module is configured to send an alarm to an output module under at least one of a condition that the lane keeping assistant system is enabled or a condition that the calculated distance between the lane and the vehicle is shorter than a predetermined distance, and wherein the control module is configured to determine whether to send the alarm when the lane keeping assist system is unavailable.
