Device and method for guiding stop area of vehicle

Abstract

A stop range indication device and a stop range indication method for a vehicle are proposed. The device comprises: an information providing unit configured to provide vehicle information used for estimation of a stop range of a host vehicle; a controller configured to calculate, based on the vehicle information provided by the information providing unit, the stop range ahead of the host vehicle in response to deceleration of the host vehicle; and a display unit configured to receive a stop range calculation signal from the controller and display the stop range ahead of the host vehicle as an augmented reality (AR) image. The device and the method calculate an estimated stop range of a host vehicle using a variety of pieces of information during deceleration traveling of the host vehicle and provide visual guidance to a driver by displaying a stop range ahead of the host vehicle in accordance to the result of the calculation, thereby enabling the driver to drive safely while recognizing the stop range ahead of the host vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to stopping range indicating devices and methods for vehicles. Background technique [0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may not constitute prior art. [0003] As is well known in the art, during running of the vehicle, deceleration is performed when the foot is released from the accelerator pedal, and the vehicle decelerates and stops when the brake pedal is depressed. [0004] Special features for electric vehicles include a one-foot steering function capable of accelerating or stopping the vehicle. [0005] For reference, the One Foot Steering feature is also known as One Pedal Steering. [0006] Therefore, when the one-foot driving function (also called one-pedal driving) is performed, the vehicle is accelerated by the driver depressing the accelerator pedal, and the vehicle is decelerated and stopped by the driver taking the fo...

Problems solved by technology

[0010] However, since the braking operation performed by the driver depressing the brake pedal depends on the driver's sense of the driver's judgment of the distance from the driver's vehicle to the vehicle in front, a stop line, an obstacle, etc., there may be a position where the vehicle stops and a Uncertainty in time, etc.
