Abstract:
Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for controlling vehicle collision avoidance. The apparatus includes: a warning signal receiver configured to receive an emergency braking warning signal for a forward collision of a host vehicle; a traveling environment detector configured to detect object information, road information, and space information pertaining to areas in front of, to the side of, and in back of the host vehicle when the warning signal is received; an emergency braking determiner configured to determine whether a risk of a forward collision of the host vehicle is larger than or equal to a first threshold value when the warning signal is received; an avoidance area determiner configured to search for drivable lanes of the host vehicle and one or more candidate areas in the space according to the determined risk of the forward collision, calculate a score of each of the candidate areas, determine an avoidance area, and set an avoidance path for the avoidance area; and a control signal output unit configured to output steering and speed control signals for moving the host vehicle to the avoidance area along the avoidance path.

Claim (Index 11):
A system for controlling collision avoidance, the system comprising:\n a camera module disposed in a host vehicle to have a field of view of an interior or an exterior of the host vehicle and configured to capture image data and process the captured image data; at least one non-image sensor module disposed in the host vehicle to have a field of view of an interior or an exterior of the host vehicle and configured to capture sensing data and process the captured sensing data; an emergency braking system module configured to perform emergency braking, based on a relative speed and a separation distance between an object existing in front of the host vehicle and the host vehicle; and a domain control unit configured to process the captured image data and sensing data and control at least one driver assistance system module included in the host vehicle comprising the emergency braking system module, wherein the domain control unit receives an emergency braking warning signal for a forward collision of the host vehicle, detects object information, road information, and space information pertaining to areas in front of, to a side of, or in back of the host vehicle, based at least partially on the processed image data and sensing data when the warning signal is received, determines whether a risk of the forward collision of the host vehicle is larger than or equal to a first threshold value when the warning signal is received, searches for drivable lanes of the host vehicle and one or more candidate areas in the space according to the determined risk of the forward collision, calculates a score of each of the candidate areas, determines an avoidance area, and sets an avoidance path for the avoidance area, and outputs steering and speed control signals for moving the host vehicle to the avoidance area along the avoidance path.
