Biologically controlled vehicle and method of controlling the same

Abstract

A vehicle that performs a lane departure warning or lane keeping assistance by reflecting a driver's stress index to more effectively guarantee safe driving, and a method of controlling the same are provided. The vehicle includes a biological signal detecting unit configured to detect a biological signal of a driver and a lane detecting unit configured to detect a lane within which a vehicle is running. A controller is configured to calculate a stress index of the driver based on the detected biological signal of the driver, determine a lane access degree of the vehicle based on the detected lane, and execute a warning output to the driver based on the calculated stress index and the determined lane access degree of the vehicle.

[0002] This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. P2013-153584 filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on December 11, 2013, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. technical field

[0003] The invention relates to a vehicle controlled by a driver's biological signal and a control method thereof. Background technique

[0004] In recent years, various systems that assist safe driving of vehicles have been developed. Examples of assistance systems for preventing a vehicle from leaving a lane include a lane keeping assist system (LKAS) and a lane departure warning system (LDWS). At the same time, the driver's ability to control the vehicle may be affected by the driver's stress index. When a driver's stress index is high, the ability to control the vehicle may be reduced. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a technology reflecting the driver's stress index for assisti...
