Accident information management appratus, vehicle including the same, and accident information management method
First Claim
1. A vehicle comprising:
- a communication unit configured to perform D2D (Device to Device) communication with a first peripheral vehicle; and
a controller configured to control the communication unit to request at least one of accident associated information and vehicle state information from the first peripheral vehicle, and to select a witness vehicle on the basis of any one of the accident associated information and the vehicle state information received from the first peripheral vehicle,wherein the controller analyzes at least one of the accident associated information and the vehicle state information received from the first peripheral vehicle, and selects a second peripheral vehicle, having captured an event generated in the vehicle during a predetermined time before or after an accident occurrence time, as the witness vehicle,wherein the accident associated information received from the first peripheral vehicle includes an accident associated image captured by the first peripheral vehicle and includes at least one of a position of an image sensor mounted to the first peripheral vehicle and a position of the first peripheral vehicle shown in the captured image and an attitude of the first peripheral vehicle shown in the captured image, andwherein the vehicle state information received from the first peripheral vehicle includes at least one of a speed, the position, and the attitude of the first peripheral vehicle and the second peripheral vehicle located in the vicinity of the first peripheral vehicle.

Abstract
An accident information management apparatus for acquiring accident associated information such as images stored in a black box (i.e., black box images) from a peripheral vehicle through direct communication between vehicles when an accident such as a traffic accident occurs, a vehicle including the accident information management apparatus, and a method for managing accident information are disclosed. The vehicle includes an antenna array having a plurality of antenna elements configured to transmit and receive a signal; and a beamformer configured to adjust a phase of the signal transmitted from the antenna elements so as to form a beam pattern focused in a specific direction; and a controller configured to focus the beam pattern onto a peripheral vehicle so as to control a communication unit to transmit a request signal of accident associated information. The antenna array and the beamformer are contained in the communication unit.
