상기와 같은 구성으로, 운전자가 횡단보도를 인식하지 못하거나 무시하는 경우에는 자동 서행장치가 제동장치를 작동시켜 자동차를 서행시키므로써, 횡단보도에서 일어나는 보행자사고를 예방할 수 있다.With the above configuration, when the driver does not recognize or ignore the crosswalk, the automatic slowing device operates the braking device to slow the vehicle, thereby preventing pedestrian accidents occurring at the crosswalk.

[실시예]EXAMPLE

이하, 상기와 같은 구성을 가진 본 발명의 바람직한 일 실시예를 첨부도면을 참조하여 상세히 설명한다.Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention having the configuration as described above will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

첨부된 도면의 제 1 도 내지 제 3 도는 본 발명의 일 실시예에 의한 자동차의 자동 서행장치의 구성과 작동을 보인 것으로, 제 1 도는 그 설치구조를 보인 자동차의 측면도이고, 제 2 도는 구성과 작동을 보인 블록도이며, 제 3 도는 제 2의 구성에 따른 작동과정을 보인 순서도이다.1 to 3 of the accompanying drawings showing the configuration and operation of the automatic slowing device of the vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 is a side view of the vehicle showing the installation structure, Figure 2 is a configuration and 3 is a block diagram showing operation, and FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an operation process according to the second configuration.
