Autonomous Driving Activation Control for Speed and Lane Alignment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional autonomous driving systems, particularly at level 3, face challenges in seamlessly transitioning between manual and autonomous modes due to unclear user feedback regarding vehicle speed and in-lane alignment conditions.
Innovation Solution
An autonomous driving control apparatus and method that utilize the autonomous driving control function of level 2 to adjust vehicle speed and lateral position, ensuring satisfaction of level 3 activation conditions, and provide user feedback through output devices to enhance usability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the autonomous driving control function of level 3 or higher is activated only when specific conditions (vehicle speed condition and in-lane alignment condition) are satisfied, then the safety and reliability of autonomous driving is improved, but the usability and ease of operation deteriorates because users cannot clearly understand the cause when the function is deactivated
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides feedback to the user through an output device (display or speaker) that clearly indicates whether the vehicle speed condition or in-lane alignment condition is not satisfied when the autonomous driving function is deactivated. This feedback mechanism resolves the contradiction by maintaining the strict condition checking for safety while improving usability through clear communication of the deactivation cause to the user.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the autonomous driving control function of level 3 is activated strictly according to predetermined conditions, then the stability and predictability of the system is improved, but the adaptability and versatility deteriorates because the system cannot flexibly respond to user requests when conditions are not met
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by controlling the vehicle to satisfy the activation conditions before enabling the autonomous driving function. When a user requests activation, the system first adjusts vehicle speed and lane alignment to meet the required conditions, then activates the function. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining strict condition satisfaction for stability while adding flexibility through the preliminary adjustment phase that responds to user requests.

AI summary
An autonomous driving control apparatus (100) for a vehicle includes: a processor (130) to determine activation of an autonomous driving function depending on whether a current driving situation satisfies an activation condition of the autonomous driving function during autonomous driving control; and a storage (120) configured to store a set of instructions and data for determination and performance by the processor. In particular, the processor controls a vehicle to satisfy the activation condition and then determines activation of the autonomous driving function when the activation condition is not satisfied and a request to activate the autonomous driving function is inputted from a user.
