The vehicle driving control notification unit 150 determines the surrounding situation with the external situation information received by the camera, radar, and lidar of the sensor unit 110 to control the departure, driving, stopping, lane change, etc. of the vehicle 10 and , the driving situation information is output to the driving situation information display unit 160 and the driving route projection unit 170 .
주위 상황정보는 차량(10) 임계거리 주변의 정적 또는 동적 객체 존재여부, 동적 객체와의 거리 및 속도와 같은 정보로, 차량주행 제어알림부(130)는 이와 같은 주위상황 정보와 차량 속도 및 주행방향 등을 고려하여 차량(10)의 출발, 주행, 정지, 및 차선변경 여부를 제어한다. 그리고, 차량주행 제어알림부(150)는 차량(10)의 출발, 정지, 차문개방 및 차선변경과 같은 주행상황 정보를 주행상황 정보표시부(160)로 출력하고, 내비게이션부(140)에 의해 검색된 주행경로에 따라 주행경로 투사부(170)로 차량의 진행방을 알리는 영상 이미지를 도로에 투사시킨다. The surrounding situation information is information such as whether a static or dynamic object exists around a critical distance of the vehicle 10, and a distance and speed with a dynamic object, and the vehicle driving control notification unit 130 provides such information about the surrounding situation and the vehicle speed and driving speed. It controls whether the vehicle 10 starts, runs, stops, and changes lanes in consideration of the direction and the like. In addition, the vehicle driving control notification unit 150 outputs driving situation information such as starting, stopping, car door opening and lane change of the vehicle 10 to the driving situation information display unit 160, and the navigation unit 140 retrieves the information. According to the driving path, the driving path projection unit 170 projects a video image informing the vehicle's moving direction on the road.
예를 들어, 차량주행 제어알림부(150)가 정지된 상황에서 차량 출발 시 센서부(110)에 의해 임계거리 내에 주위 사람이나 차량이 감지되지 않아 출발하기 안전한 상황이라 판단하면, 주행상황 정보표시부(160)로 차량출발 메시지를 출력한다. 차량 출발 메시지는 "차량이 출발합니다"라고 표시될 수도 있고, "5초 후 차량이 출발합니다"와 같이 출발 시각이 함께 표시될 수도 있다. For example, when the vehicle driving control notification unit 150 is stopped and it is determined that it is a safe situation to start because no people or vehicles are detected within the critical distance by the sensor unit 110 when the vehicle starts, the driving condition information display unit A vehicle departure message is output to (160). The vehicle departure message may be displayed as "The vehicle departs" or the departure time may also be displayed, such as "The vehicle will depart in 5 seconds".
그리고, 출발하여 주행 중에 차량의 정지상황이 발생한 경우, 즉 센서부(110)에 의해 전방 차량의 정지, 신호등의 정지신호, 도로 상의 장애물 등과 같은 주행장애 상황이 감지되면, 차량주행 제어알림부(150)는 "차량이 정지합니다" 또는 전방차량이나 장애물과의 거리를 계산하여 "3초 후 차량이 정지합니다"라고 주행상황 정보표시부(160)로 차량정지 메시지를 출력한다. 이때, 차량정지 메시지는 인식된 구체적인 차량의 정지이유(전방차량 정지, 정지신호 점등, 도로 장애물 감지)도 함께 표시될 수 있다. 또한, 차선변경 상황이 발생하면 주행상황 정보표시부(160)로 차선변경 메시지를 출력하고, 차량이 목적지에 도착하면 주행종료 메시지를 표시하고 주행을 종료한다. And, when a vehicle stop situation occurs while driving, that is, when a driving disorder situation such as a stop of the vehicle in front, a stop signal of a traffic light, an obstacle on the road, etc. is detected by the sensor unit 110, the vehicle driving control notification unit ( 150) outputs a vehicle stop message to the driving condition information display unit 160 saying "the vehicle stops" or "the vehicle stops after 3 seconds" by calculating the distance to the vehicle in front or an obstacle. In this case, the vehicle stop message may also be displayed together with the recognized specific vehicle stop reason (forward vehicle stop, stop signal lighting, road obstacle detection). Also, when a lane change situation occurs, a lane change message is output to the driving condition information display unit 160 , and when the vehicle arrives at a destination, a driving end message is displayed and driving is terminated.
또한, 차량주행 제어알림부(150)는 주행정보를 주행상황 정보표시부(160)로 실시간으로 표시하는 것과 함께, 주행경로 투사부(170)로 차량(10)의 진행방향을 알리는 영상이미지를 도로에 투사시킨다. 여기서, 영상 이미지는 주행경로와 센서부(110)의 GPS 정보로 확인되는 위치정보에 따라 도로에 투사되는데, 예를 들어 직진 시에 도로에 단방향 화살표(
)를 투사하다가, 좌회전하는 교차로에 근접하면 좌회전 꺾임 화살표(좌회전:)로 전환하여 투사한다. In addition, the vehicle driving control notification unit 150 displays driving information in real time with the driving condition information display unit 160 and displays an image image informing the traveling direction of the vehicle 10 to the driving path projection unit 170 on the road. project to Here, the video image is projected on the road according to the driving route and the location information confirmed by the GPS information of the sensor unit 110, for example, a one-way arrow ( ), and when approaching an intersection turning left, the left turn arrow (Turn Left: ) to project.한편, 차량(10)이 목적지에 도착하여 탑승자가 하차하는 경우, 차량주행 제어알림부(150)는 차문을 개방하기 전에 차문 개방예고 메시지를 주행상황 정보표시부(160)로 출력할 수 있다. 즉, 차량이 목적지에 도착하여 탑승자가 내리는 경우, 차량주행 제어알림부(150)는 "5초 후 차문이 개방됩니다"라는 차문 개방예고 메시지를 주행상황 정보표시부(160)로 표시함으로써 차량(10)의 후방 측면에서 진행하는 오토바이나 자전거에 의한 충돌사고를 예방할 수 있다. 여기서, 차문 개방 예고는 주행경로 투사부(170)에 의해 이루어질 수도 있는데, 개방되는 차문 방향의 도로변이나 인도로 가시광선으로 차문 개방예고 영상이미지를 투사함으로써 차문 개방 상황에 대한 외부 주목성을 높여 안전사고를 예방할 수 있다. 이상에서는 목적지에 도착하여 탑승자가 내리는 경우에 차문이 개방되는 것으로 설명하였으나, 목적지 도착 전에 탑승자가 하차하는 경우에도 차문이 개방되는 경우에도 차문 개방예고 메시지와 차문 개방예고 영상이미지를 투사할 수 있음은 물론이다.Meanwhile, when the vehicle 10 arrives at the destination and the occupant disembarks, the vehicle driving control notification unit 150 may output a vehicle door opening notice message to the driving condition information display unit 160 before the vehicle door is opened. That is, when the vehicle arrives at the destination and the occupant disembarks, the vehicle driving control notification unit 150 displays the vehicle door opening notice message, "The car door will be opened after 5 seconds," on the driving condition information display unit 160 to display the vehicle 10 ), it is possible to prevent collision accidents caused by motorcycles or bicycles that proceed from the rear side of the vehicle. Here, the car door opening notice may be made by the driving route projection unit 170, and by projecting the car door opening notice image image with visible light on the roadside or sidewalk in the direction of the car door to be opened, the external attention to the car door opening situation is increased to increase safety. Accidents can be prevented. In the above, it has been explained that the car door is opened when the passenger gets off after arriving at the destination. However, even if the car door is opened even if the passenger gets off before arriving at the destination, the car door opening notice message and the car door opening notice video image can be projected. Of course.
이와 같이 차량주행 제어알림부(150)는 주행 중에 발생하는 다양한 주행 상황정보를 주행상황 정보표시부(160)와 주행경로 투사부(170)를 이용하여 외부로 실시간으로 표시함으로써 주위의 다른 운전자나 보행자에게 차량 주행상황을 정확하게 인지시켜 주행하는 자율 주행차량 주변이 보다 안전하고 예측 가능한 교통 환경이 구축될 수 있다.As described above, the vehicle driving control notification unit 150 displays various driving situation information generated during driving to the outside using the driving situation information display unit 160 and the driving route projection unit 170 in real time, so that other drivers or pedestrians around A safer and more predictable traffic environment can be built around autonomous vehicles that drive by accurately recognizing the vehicle driving situation.

A route from the current location to the destination is calculated by recognizing the voice information of the desired destination from the occupant in the vehicle or receiving destination information from the touch panel (S110). Then, it is determined whether the vehicle can start from the external situation data sensed by the sensor unit 110 , and a departure information message is displayed on the driving condition information display unit 160 and starts ( S120 ). After starting, the driving path projection unit 170 projects an image image such as an arrow indicating the traveling direction of the vehicle on the road according to the path information calculated in step S110 during driving ( S130 ). Due to the video image projected in this way, it is possible to easily recognize the driving route or direction of the vehicle from the outside. In addition, when a situation to be stopped is recognized from the external situation data sensed by the sensor unit 110 while the vehicle is being driven, a vehicle stop message is displayed on the driving condition information display unit 160 ( S140 ). As such, as the vehicle departure information or vehicle driving information is provided to the outside through the driving condition information display unit 160, the current vehicle driving condition information is provided to other drivers or pedestrians around in real time, so that it is safe and comfortable, such as preventing a traffic accident. It can help with driving.
그리고, 차량이 목적지에 가깝게 접근하면 목적지까지 남은거리와 주행속도를 산출하여 목적지 도착정보(예를 들어, "2분 후에 차량이 목적지에 도착합니다")가 주행상황 정보표시부(160)에 표시되며(S150), 이후 목적지에 도착하면 "목적지에 차량이 도착하였습니다"라는 주행종료 메시지를 주행상황 정보표시부(160)에 표시하고 주행이 종료된다(S160).And, when the vehicle approaches the destination close to the destination, the remaining distance to the destination and the driving speed are calculated, and the destination arrival information (for example, “the vehicle arrives at the destination in 2 minutes”) is displayed on the driving condition information display unit 160, (S150), after arriving at the destination, the driving end message “The vehicle has arrived at the destination” is displayed on the driving condition information display unit 160 and driving is terminated (S160).
