Abstract

Provided is a system for verifying a vehicle-based communication service through simulation based on various environments. The system includes a first terminal configured to receive log data and output data from a vehicle terminal equipped in each of a plurality of vehicles, transmit the log data and a reproduction command signal corresponding to the log data, and display the output data and a second terminal configured to receive the log data from the first terminal to upload the log data, perform synchronization of a corresponding system time, and adjust a reproduction time of each of pieces of log data to a predetermined reference point according to the reproduction command signal.

Claims

1. A system for controlling a vehicle, the system comprising:

a first terminal configured to receive log data, and transmit the log data and a reproduction command signal corresponding to the log data; and

a second terminal configured to

receive the log data from the first terminal,

upload the received log data,

synchronize a system time corresponding to the second terminal,

synchronize the log data by synchronizing respective initial reproduction times of pieces of the log data to start at a reference point, based on the reproduction command signal and a determination of which piece of the log data among the pieces of the log data has a latest logging start time, and

transmit the synchronized log data to a vehicle terminal,

wherein the first terminal is further configured to receive output data transmitted by the vehicle terminal based on the received synchronized log data, and perform a simulation based on the received output data to optimize a Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) service of a traffic system to control a movement of at least one vehicle.

2. The system of claim 1, herein the first terminal is further configured to receive, as the output data, vehicle-to-vehicle communication middleware and data associated with a safety service from the vehicle terminal.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the first terminal comprises a Windows personal computer configured to upload, through an FTP server, the received log data to the second terminal, which comprises a Linux personal computer.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the second terminal is further configured to synchronize the system time using an embedded NTP server.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the respective initial reproduction times of the pieces of the log data are identically adjusted.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the reference point corresponds to a multiple of a reproduction time of the piece of the log data among the pieces of the log data determined to have the latest logging start time.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein

the vehicle terminal transmits the output data through middleware, and

the output data comprises data associated with a safety service.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein

the first terminal comprises a display, and

the display is configured to display the output data, and to display a result value based on the output data using a simulation tool.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the display is further configured to display a setup tab comprising an IP address, a port number, a map information tab, and a vehicle information tab.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein

the setup tab comprises a command button for transmitting logging data to the second terminal, and

the setup tab is configured to receive numbers of logging files as data numbers, and to receive system control information.

11. The system of claim 9, wherein the vehicle information tab comprises any one or any combination of any two or more of a tab displaying a current vehicle position, a route history, an expected route, a tab displaying information of peripheral vehicles received through wireless access in vehicular environments (WAVE) communication, and a tab displaying position information of a tracked vehicle around a vehicle.

12. The system of claim 9, wherein the vehicle information tab displays position information of a vehicle from which a warning message based on a safety service is generated, and a result value signal associated with the safety service.

13. The system of claim 1, the second terminal is further configured to receive the reproduction command signal corresponding to the log data through a User Datagram Protocol (UDP), and to identically adjust the respective initial reproduction times of the pieces of the log data, in response to the first terminal transmitting the reproduction command signal corresponding to the log data.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein

the log data received by the first terminal is received from a V2V vehicle terminal, and

the first terminal is further configured to reproduce the log data received by the first terminal, and to determine the V2V vehicle terminal according to an IP (internet protocol) of the UDP.

15. The system of claim 1, wherein the V2X service of the traffic system is optimized to prevent accidents through the control of the movement of the at least one vehicle.

16. The system of claim 1, wherein the V2X service of the traffic system is optimized to stabilize the V2X service, which prevents accidents through the control of the movement of the at least one vehicle.
