Apparatus and method for detecting traffic lane using wireless communication
First Claim
1. An apparatus for recognizing a traffic lane of a traveling vehicle using wireless communication, the apparatus comprising:
- a sensor unit including an image recognition sensor and a radar sensor; and
a controller configured to;
communicate wirelessly with at least one other vehicle;
confirm a reliability classification of the at least one other vehicle;
receive traffic lane recognition information from the at least one other vehicle;
generate road driving information by making one or more predictions of the traffic lane of the traveling vehicle based on the traffic lane recognition information received from the at least one other vehicle;
confirm a particular traffic lane of the traveling vehicle when a number of times for which the particular traffic lane has been predicted is greater than or equal to a threshold that varies according to the reliability classification of the at least one other vehicle; and
output the road driving information including the confirmed traffic lane.

Abstract
An apparatus and a method for detecting a traffic lane using wireless communication is provided and includes a sensor unit including an image recognition sensor and a radar sensor. In addition, a controller is configured to wirelessly communicate with at least one of a plurality of other vehicles and generate road driving information regarding a traveling vehicle after confirming a reliability of the at least one other vehicle using traffic lane recognition information received from the at least other vehicle. The controller is configured to confirm a traffic lane of the traveling vehicle based on the reliability and output the road driving information.
