Description

Vehicle accident prevention device and method

The present invention relates to a vehicle accident prevention apparatus and method, and in particular, to prevent the accident of the vehicle to give a warning to the driver and warning of the distance away from the vehicle existing on both sides of the front that the driver cannot easily recognize with the naked eye during driving. An apparatus and method are provided.

In recent years, the number of cars has exploded, and the roads in the city are crowded with cars to remind the parking lot.

In this way, drivers of busy city roads spend a lot of time on the roads, which can lead to delays in business hours, ignoring signals and driving in busy areas such as intersections. As a result, it was not possible to pay attention to the surrounding vehicles.

However, there is a problem that a driver who runs a conventional vehicle as described above ignores a signal in a situation where the vehicle is not properly checked in a crowded area such as an intersection, thereby causing a very dangerous accident. It was.

Therefore, the present invention is to solve such a problem, when the vehicle is going to enter the intersection, after detecting the vehicle coming from both sides that the driver can not easily see with the naked eye, and displays the warning and warning the distance away The purpose is to provide a vehicle accident prevention device and method that can prevent the accident in advance.

Explanation of symbols on the main parts of the drawings

1: object detecting unit, 2: display unit, 3: warning unit, 4: control unit

The accident prevention apparatus of the vehicle of the present invention for achieving the above object is mounted on both sides of the front bumper of the vehicle, the object detection unit for detecting the vehicle existing in both the front direction of the vehicle; A display unit for displaying a distance from the front side of the vehicle so that the driver can know the vehicle; A warning unit to warn that the vehicle on both fronts is within an accident danger distance; And a control unit for controlling the operation of the display unit and the warning unit based on the signal input from the object detecting unit.

EXAMPLE

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

Referring to FIG. 1, an apparatus for preventing an accident of a vehicle according to the present invention may be displayed based on an object detecting unit 1 for detecting a vehicle existing in both front and rear directions of the vehicle, and a signal input from the object detecting unit 1. And a control unit 4 for controlling the operation of the unit 2 and the warning unit 3.

When the object detecting unit 1 detects a vehicle existing on both sides of the vehicle while driving and inputs a detection value to the controller 4, the controller 4 calculates a distance from the detected vehicle and displays the detected vehicle distance through the display unit 2. If the detected distance to the vehicle is within 30m, the warning unit 3 is activated to inform the driver that there is a risk of an accident.

Referring to FIG. 2, the vehicle is driven in step ST1. Step ST1 travels to step ST2, and in step ST2, the object detecting unit 1 detects vehicles on both front sides and inputs detection values to the controller 4. In step ST2, the control unit 4 displays the detected distance to the vehicle on the display unit 2 in step ST3. Step ST3 proceeds to step ST4, and in step ST4, the controller 4 determines whether the detected vehicle is within 30m. If it is determined that the determination is within 30m, step ST4 proceeds to step ST5, and in step ST5, the control unit 4 operates the warning unit 3 to warn the driver of the danger.

If it is determined that the vehicle detected in step ST4 does not exist within 30m, step ST4 proceeds to the end.

As described above, the vehicle accident prevention apparatus and method of the present invention detects vehicles on both sides of the front that are difficult for the driver to check the naked eye when driving at an intersection, displays distances away from the driver, and the vehicle exists within an accident danger distance. If judged to do, it warns the driver that there is an accident risk, thus providing an excellent effect to prevent the accident in advance.
