Hereinafter, embodiments disclosed in this specification will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a travel information providing apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The driving information providing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a communication unit 120 connected to the control unit 110 and the control unit 110, a sensor unit 130, a driving information generating unit 150, a memory 160 ). ≪ / RTI > On the other hand, the display unit 140 may be further included. The components shown in FIG. 1 are not essential in implementing the driving information providing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, so that the driving information providing apparatus 100 described in the present specification is applicable to the components Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > and / or < / RTI >

More specifically, the communication unit 120 communicates with the travel information providing apparatus 100 and various radio communication systems or between the travel information providing apparatus 100 and the unmanned vehicle (not shown), or between the travel information providing apparatus 100 And one or more modules that enable communication of a predetermined terminal (not shown). The communication unit 120 may include one or more modules for connecting the driving information providing apparatus 100 to one or more networks. The communication unit 120 may include at least one of a mobile communication module, a wireless Internet module, a local area communication module, and a location information module.

Here, the position information module is a module for obtaining the position (or current position) of the driving information providing device 100, and representative examples thereof include a Global Positioning System (GPS) module or a WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) module. For example, the travel information providing apparatus 100 can acquire the current position of the travel information providing apparatus 100 using a signal transmitted from the GPS satellite, using the GPS module. As another example, when the Wi-Fi module is utilized, the travel information providing apparatus 100 may be configured to transmit the Wi-Fi module and the driving information providing apparatus 100). ≪ / RTI > Meanwhile, the position information module is a module used for obtaining the position (or current position) of the travel information providing apparatus 100, and is not limited to a module for directly calculating or acquiring the position of the travel information providing apparatus 100. [

Meanwhile, the sensor unit 130 may include at least one sensor for sensing the geographical environment around the travel information providing apparatus 100. For example, the sensor unit 130 may include a camera, a barometer, a hygrometer, an acceleration sensor, a magnetic sensor, a gravity sensor, and a gyroscope sensor for acquiring an image of a surrounding environment, that is, a traveling road image. And an illuminance sensor, a temperature sensor, an wind speed sensor, and the like for acquiring weather-related information around the travel information providing apparatus 100. In addition, the sensor unit 130 may further include a contamination detection sensor, a radiation detection sensor, a gas detection sensor, and the like for detecting whether the area is a radioactive contaminated area or a biochemical contaminated area.

On the other hand, the controller 110 can control the operations of the connected components. The control unit 110 can sense the current position through the communication unit 120. When the operation according to the embodiment of the present invention is performed, the control unit 110 can obtain available geographical information through the communication unit 120. [ The available geographical information may be various geographical information collectable through a predetermined server or a predetermined network. That is, the control unit 110 can access the arbitrary geographic information database (not shown) in which the geographical information of each area is stored through the communication unit 120.

The control unit 110 can acquire the current position information of the moving object, that is, the travel information providing apparatus 100. The geographical information of the area corresponding to the acquired location information, that is, the service area in which the travel information providing apparatus 100 is operated, can be collected from the geographical information database. The information collected here may include information on the terrain, slope, altitude, etc., as well as information on the weather, current season, and current time of the area where the moving object is currently located.

When the information is collected, the controller 110 may sense information about the geographical environment around the current running information providing apparatus 100 using the sensors of the sensor unit 130. [

Meanwhile, the controller 110 may compare the sensed information (i.e., perceived geographical information) with the information obtained from the geographical information database. Here, the controller 110 may compare information of corresponding attributes of the geographical information obtained from the geographical information database with the geographical information sensed by the sensors of the sensor unit 130. [ It is also possible to detect whether there is an error in the information obtained from the geographic information database. For example, the control unit 110 compares the shape of the traveling road obtained from the geographical information database with the shape of the traveling road sensed through the sensors of the sensor unit 130 to match the shape of the traveling road with the recognized traveling road Can be detected. Or the inclination of the road, the road surface condition, and the like can be sensed. In addition, the control unit 110 may detect whether the geographical information collected from the arbitrary geographical information database is different from the collected geographical information based on the information sensed by the sensor unit 130 . If there is a difference between the measured sensing value and the geographical information obtained from the arbitrary database, the control unit 110 may update the geographical information acquired from the arbitrary database based on the difference. The updated geographical information can be stored as geographical information according to the location of the current mobile object.

For example, the controller 110 may access an arbitrary geographic information database to obtain weather information according to the season and the current time of the current location of the mobile body. The controller 110 senses the current time and senses weather information (e.g., temperature, humidity, wind, and the like) from the sensors provided in the sensor unit 130. The weather information of the obtained current time and the weather information sensed by the sensor unit 130 may be compared with each other to detect the weather difference between the geographical information obtained from the arbitrary database and the sensed geographical information.

That is, the controller 110 can acquire, from the arbitrary geographic information database, information related to the season and time of the weather in which the moving object is located, from each sensor of the sensor unit 130, The weather can be sensed, and the sensed result can be compared with information related to the acquired weather and season corresponding to the sensed time, and a difference can be detected. The controller 110 may correct the weather information corresponding to the current season and time from the obtained geographical information by reflecting the detected difference value. Accordingly, in the present invention, information on the weather and season for each time of the area where the moving object is currently located can be stored.

Here, the controller 110 may detect whether the value of the perceived geographical information is within a predetermined error range in detecting the difference between the geographical information obtained from the arbitrary database and the perceived geographical information . That is, the control unit 110 can detect whether or not the difference between the geographical information obtained from any database and the actually sensed geographical information is within a predetermined error range, and if the difference is within a preset error range, It may be determined that the sensed geographical information (that is, the recognized geographical information) matches the geographical information acquired from the arbitrary database. It is a matter of course that a plurality of different ranges corresponding to each type of geographical information may be set in the tolerance range.

The control unit 110 may receive a request for driving information from the unmanned vehicle. The request for the travel information can be received through the communication unit 120. In this case, the controller 110 can receive the information about the unmanned vehicle together with the request for the travel information. Here, the information on the unmanned vehicle may include information on the running characteristics of the unmanned vehicle, and the controller 110 may generate the driving information required by the unmanned vehicle according to the running characteristics of the unmanned vehicle. have.

To this end, the travel information providing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include a travel information generating unit 150 for generating the travel information. The driving information generating unit 150 may be integrally formed with the control unit 110 in the control unit 110. However, the driving information generating unit 150 may be configured separately from the control unit 110 as shown in FIG. 1 .

The driving information generating unit 150 may include information on the type of vehicle of various unmanned vehicles and the driving characteristics of the unmanned vehicle such as a speed or a running mode according to the type of each unmanned vehicle, Can be generated. For example, the travel information generating unit 150 can detect whether the unmanned vehicle is a tracked vehicle or a non-tracked vehicle based on the type of the unmanned vehicle, that is, the vehicle type, It is possible to generate traveling information suitable for the on-track vehicle. When the driving information is generated as described above, the control unit 110 can transmit the generated driving information to the unmanned vehicle through the communication unit 120.

Alternatively, the driving information generator 150 may process and process the collected and updated geographical information in the form of driving information requested from a general vehicle and store the geographical information in the memory 160, and may store information stored in the form of driving information It may be regenerated in the form of travel information required by the unmanned vehicle.

Meanwhile, the memory 160 stores data for supporting the operation of the controller 110 and various functions. The memory 160 may store an application program, data for various operations, and commands that are driven by the travel information providing apparatus 100. The geographical information collected through the communication unit 120 and the geographical information updated based on the information sensed by the sensor unit 130 may be stored in the memory 160. Alternatively, the geographical information stored in the memory 160 may be information stored in the form of travel information through the travel information generating unit 150. The collected and updated geographical information may be stored in the memory 160 to form a database. In the following description, the database formed as described above will be referred to as a travel information database 162.

Meanwhile, the control unit 110 may display the result of the comparison between the collected geographical information and the information sensed by the sensor unit 130 through the display unit 140. Here, the display unit 140 may be a display unit such as a head up display (HUD) when the moving object on which the driving information providing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is mounted is a human- . Or the moving object on which the driving information providing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is mounted is a small movement such as a drones in which a person can not be boarded, the display unit of the specific terminal, that is, the display unit included in the operator system operating the drones It is possible. In this case, the control unit 110 may transmit the comparison result to the operator system in the form of radio data, and display the comparison result on the display unit of the operator system. If the comparison result is displayed as described above, the controller 110 may update the geographical information depending on whether the specific user has input or not.

2 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of providing travel information to an unmanned vehicle in the travel information providing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the controller 110 of the driving information providing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention measures a current position when an operation according to an embodiment of the present invention is performed, The geographical information corresponding to the current location can be extracted from the information (S200).

Meanwhile, in step S200, the available geographic information may be various. For example, the available geographical information may be geographical information that can be acquired through a predetermined external server or a predetermined network as described above. That is, the available geographic information may be geographical information obtainable from any accessible geographic information database (not shown). Examples of such available geographical information include digital geographic information (FDB), digital elevation model (DEM), digital image model (DSM), image map, land cover map, A map, and the like.

If the geographical information corresponding to the current location is obtained in step S200, the controller 110 can measure information about the environment of the travel information providing apparatus 100 using the sensors provided in the sensor unit 130 . The measured information may be analyzed to recognize the actually measured information as specific geographical information (S202).

Meanwhile, if the geographical information is recognized in step S202, the controller 110 may compare the geographical information obtained in step S200 with the geographical information recognized in step S202 (S204). The step S204 may be a step of comparing information of attributes corresponding to each other among the geographical information obtained in the step S200 and the geographical information recognized in the step S202. That is, the geographical information obtained in the step S200 and the geographical information recognized in the step S202 include attribute information (for example, temperature, wind velocity, terrain, slope, etc.) for different geographical attributes, Step S204 may be a step of comparing the information included in each geographical information with each other.

Here, the controller 110 may detect whether the collected geographical information and the recognized geographical information exceed a predetermined tolerance.

For example, the geographical information collected in step S200 may be an average slope of the current location of the moving object. In this case, the controller 110 may compare the slope of the terrain measured in step S202 with the average slope to detect whether the difference between the slopes exceeds a predetermined tolerance. If the gradient of the gradient is higher or lower than a preset tolerance, the geographical information of the specific point corresponding to the current position of the mobile object may be stored and the gradient of the point may be stored as a point having an ideal gradient.

On the other hand, the control unit 110 can correct the geographical information of the currently located area according to the measured geographical information (S206). For example, as in the above-described example, the point where the abnormal gradient occurs may be continuously collected according to the traveling of the moving object. The controller 110 may calculate an average of the gradients collected until the moving object moves away from the area corresponding to the geographical information collected in step S200 according to the movement of the moving object. The calculated slope mean and the slope collected in step S200. That is, if the difference between the average inclination of the area is equal to or greater than the predetermined tolerance, the geographical information can be corrected and stored according to the average of the measured inclination. In this case, not only the information about the points at which the abnormal slope is located is stored, but also the slope information itself of the currently located area can be corrected according to the perceived geographical information.

Meanwhile, in the above example, the inclination is described as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto. That is, in the case where the result sensed by various sensors provided in the sensor unit 130 such as temperature, wind speed, and the like is different from the geographical information collected in a similar manner to the inclination, (Hereinafter referred to as " abnormal points "). In this case, when the running information is generated, the running information may be generated by reflecting information about the abnormal point. In the above description, it is assumed that the mean values of the collected results are compared with each other. However, when the average values are not the average values, It is obvious that the correction may be performed in accordance with the geographical information on which the information is recognized.

The step S204 may further include displaying the detected information on the display unit 140. [ In this case, if the display unit 140 is physically connected to the travel information providing apparatus 100 in a spaced-apart relationship, the controller 110 may transmit the detected information to the separated display unit 140 in step S204 Lt; / RTI > Then, the detected information can be visualized and displayed on the display unit 140.

Meanwhile, when the detected information is displayed on the display unit 140, the controller 110 may detect a user's input on the detected information. In this case, the control unit 110 may select only a part of the detected information according to the input of the detected user. Then, the controller 110 may correct only the selected geographical information in step S206 based on the measured and recognized results in step S202.

Meanwhile, the control unit 110 may update the travel information database 162 by reflecting the information of the abnormal point and the corrected geographical information (S208). Here, the information stored in the travel information database 162 may include the corrected geographical information (including information of an abnormal point) and information of an area corresponding to the location of the moving object. In step S208, the controller 110 adds an attribute of the geographical information (for example, adds a tilt attribute in a state in which the tilt is not included), information on the updated time and the updated geographical location Point information) can be stored.

Meanwhile, the information to be stored may be stored as preprocessing information for generating the driving information in step S208. That is, the control unit 110 extracts the terrain property and the planar characteristic (for example, the shape of the traveling route) and the three-dimensional characteristic (altitude information, tilt information, etc.) for each attribute from the corrected geographical information, (Or updated).

When the driving information database 162 is updated in step S208, the controller 110 may detect whether there is a request for driving information of a specific area stored in the driving information database 162 from the system, that is, the unmanned vehicle. If there is an unmanned vehicle requesting the detection result driving information, the controller 110 may provide the traveling information of the specific area in response to the request (S210).

On the other hand, in step S210, the controller 110 may obtain information on the type of the unmanned vehicle (vehicle type) together with the request for the travel information. Then, the control unit 110 may generate driving information required in the unmanned vehicle according to the type of the unmanned vehicle, and may provide the generated driving information to the unmanned vehicle.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of providing driving information according to the driving characteristics of the unmanned vehicle in the driving information providing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

3, the control unit 110 of the driving information providing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention transmits the information about the vehicle type of the unmanned vehicle, that is, the system requesting the driving information in step S201, You can get it together. Then, the control unit 110 may analyze the vehicle type of the unmanned system that requested the travel information (S300). Then, the driving characteristics of the unmanned vehicle can be extracted according to the analyzed vehicle type (S302). The control unit 110 can generate driving information according to the extracted driving characteristics from the geographical information of the specific area stored in the driving information database 162. Then, the generated driving information can be transmitted to the unmanned vehicle (S306).

For example, if the unmanned vehicle is a tracked vehicle, the controller 110 may extract the running characteristics of the tracked vehicle through steps S300 and S302. In this case, the driving characteristics according to the driving pattern according to the characteristics of the tracked vehicle can be extracted. The control unit 110 may extract the geographical information of the specific area according to the driving characteristics of the track vehicle, and generate driving information necessary for the unmanned vehicle based on the extracted geographical information.

For example, by using a caterpillar in the case of a tracked vehicle, turning can be made freely by changing the rotational speed of the left and right, so that the turning radius can be made smaller than that of the non-orbit vehicle, The movable range in the specific area can be widened. In this case, the control unit 110 transmits driving information set in a movable range according to the characteristics of the tracked vehicle to the unmanned vehicle, so that driving information more suitable for the unmanned vehicle can be provided.

While the invention has been shown and described with reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Particularly, in the embodiment of the present invention described above, after obtaining the available geographical information by the driving information providing apparatus 100 (step S200), the geographical information is measured from the sensors of the sensor unit 130 (step S202) . A request for driving information is received from a specific unmanned vehicle, and the driving information necessary for the unmanned vehicle is generated and transmitted from the obtained geographical information in response to the received request.

However, it goes without saying that the type of the unmanned vehicle for providing the driving information may be set in advance before the available geographical information is obtained in the step S200. When the type of at least one unmanned vehicle is set in advance, the controller 110 acquires from the arbitrary geographical information database the geographical information according to the current position of the travel information providing apparatus 100, It is also possible to acquire only geographical information for generating only travel information to be provided to the user.

For example, when the unmanned vehicle is limited to a tracked vehicle, the controller 110 may determine attributes of the required geographic information according to driving information that may be required from various types of tracked vehicles. Of course, in step S200, only the geographical information according to the determined attributes among the geographical information according to the area where the present driving information providing apparatus 100 is located may be acquired from any geographical information database. In this case, the number of types of unmanned vehicles capable of providing the driving information can be reduced, but the driving information required in the unmanned vehicle can be provided within a shorter time as the amount of data to be processed decreases.

In addition, in the above description, the driving information required in the unmanned vehicle is provided according to the geographical information obtained in the driving information providing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention. However, The device 100 may feed back the actually measured geographical information from the unmanned vehicle provided with the travel information. In this case, it is needless to say that the driving information providing apparatus 100 may update the information stored in the driving information database 162 (the driving information in the geographical information or the preprocessed state) according to the feedback result.

In the above description, only the driving information of the area is provided at the request of the unmanned vehicle. However, it is also possible to provide the driving information to the request of the unmanned vehicle as well as any other vehicle (for example, a manned vehicle) Of course it is.

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. Therefore, the embodiments disclosed in the present invention are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention but to limit the scope of the technical idea of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention should be construed according to the following claims, and all technical ideas within the scope of equivalents should be construed as falling within the scope of the present invention.
