Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for controlling a braking force of a platooning vehicle. The apparatus includes a braking distance predicting unit configured to predict a predicted braking distance of a host vehicle, a braking restriction determining unit configured to determine whether a braking distance of the host vehicle is to be restricted, by comparing the predicted braking distance of the host vehicle with predicted braking distances of following vehicles. The apparatus further includes a braking restriction degree determining unit configured to determine a braking restriction degree of the braking distance of the host vehicle in the case in which it is necessary to restrict the braking distance of the host vehicle.

Claim (Index 19):
A method for controlling a braking force of a platooning vehicle, the apparatus comprising:\n predicting a predicted braking distance of a host vehicle; determining whether a braking distance of the host vehicle is to be restricted, by comparing the predicted braking distance of the host vehicle with a maximum value of predicted braking distances of following vehicles; in the case in which it is necessary to restrict the braking distance of the host vehicle, determining a braking restriction degree of the braking distance; and braking the host vehicle by applying the braking restriction degree.
