Description
본 발명은 차량 충돌경보 시스템에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a vehicle collision warning system.
보다 상세하게는 온도 및 기후 등에 강한 밀리웨이브 레이더 센서에 곡선도로 및 언덕길 등에서의 선행차량의 인식이 가능한 카메라를 결합시켜 고성능의 경보시스템을 구현하기 위한 차량 충돌경보 시스템에 관한 것이다.More specifically, the present invention relates to a vehicle collision warning system for implementing a high performance alarm system by combining a camera capable of recognizing a preceding vehicle on a curved road or a hill road with a milliwave radar sensor resistant to temperature and climate.
일반적으로 차량은 문명이 발달함에 따라 발전되어 온 기계 및 전자기술 등이 총체적으로 집약된 것으로서, 최근 생활의 윤택함과 더불어 시시각각으로 크게 변화되는 환경에 발맞추어 원활한 업무, 일상 생활의 편리, 여가 활용 등을 위해 보급이 크게 확대되고 있다.In general, the vehicle is a collection of mechanical and electronic technologies that have been developed with the development of civilization, and in accordance with the recent changes in daily life and the ever-changing environment, smooth work, convenience of daily life, leisure use, etc. The supply is expanding greatly for this purpose.
이와 같은 차량을 운행할 때 운전자는 각종 안전사고의 예방을 위해 다른 차량과의 안전거리를 유지하는 것이 반드시 필요하다.When driving such a vehicle, it is necessary for the driver to maintain a safe distance from other vehicles in order to prevent various safety accidents.
그렇지만 운전자는 차량 운행시 다른 차량 특히, 앞선 차량과의 거리 계산을 시각적으로만 판단하기 때문에 경우에 따라 운전자의 착각으로 인해 추돌 등의 안전사고가 발생될 우려가 있었다.However, since the driver only visually determines the distance calculation with other vehicles, especially the preceding vehicle, when driving the vehicle, there is a concern that a safety accident such as a collision may occur due to the driver's mistake.
그러므로 최근에는 운전자의 편의를 도모하기 위해 차량의 전방에 센서(초음파 센서 또는 레이저 센서 등)를 설치하여 다른 차량과의 거리를 자동으로 계산한 후 충돌우려가 있는 거리 이내에 차량이 있는 경우 경보음을 울려 운전자의 주의를 환기시키는 차량 충돌경보장치가 개발되어 사용되고 있다.Therefore, recently, for the convenience of the driver, a sensor (ultrasound sensor or laser sensor, etc.) is installed in front of the vehicle to automatically calculate the distance from other vehicles, and then, if there is a vehicle within a distance that is likely to crash, an alarm sound A vehicle collision warning device has been developed and used to ring the driver's attention.
또한, 사용주파수 대역이 24㎓에서 60㎓사이의 밀리웨이브 레이더 센서를 이용하여 차량 전방에 위치한 다른 차량과의 거리를 자동으로 계산한 후 상술한 것과 같이 경보음을 울려주는 경보시스템이 구축되어 있다.In addition, by using a milliwave radar sensor with a frequency band of 24 kHz to 60 kHz, an alarm system that calculates the distance from other vehicles located in front of the vehicle and sounds an alarm sound as described above is built. .
그러나, 상술한 것과 같은 밀리웨이브 레이더 센서만이 차량에 구축되어 있는 경우 곡선주로 상에서 마주 오는 차량을 인식할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 언덕 또는 내리막길에서 선행차량을 감지할 수 없다는 문제점이 있으며, 주행중인 차량에 전방을 촬영하여 차량의 주변환경을 인식할 수 있는 비디오 시스템만이 구축되어 있는 경우 움직이는 물체에 대한 정보 검출이 미약하다는 문제점이 있기 때문에 상술한 두 시스템중 하나만을 차량에 구축하는 경우 차량의 안전한 주행을 보장할 수 없다는 문제점이 있었다.However, when only the milliwave radar sensor as described above is built in the vehicle, it is not only able to recognize the oncoming vehicle on a curved main road, but also cannot detect a preceding vehicle on a hill or a downhill road. If there is only a video system capable of recognizing the surroundings of the vehicle by photographing the front of the vehicle, the detection of information about moving objects is weak. There was a problem that driving cannot be guaranteed.
따라서, 본 발명의 목적은 전술한 문제점을 해결할 수 있도록 온도 및 기후 등에 강한 밀리웨이브 레이더 센서에 곡선도로 및 언덕길 등에서의 선행차량의 인식이 가능한 카메라를 결합시켜 고성능의 경보시스템을 구현하기 위한 차량 충돌경보 시스템을 제공함에 있다.Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to combine a camera capable of recognizing a preceding vehicle on a curved road and a hill road with a milliwave radar sensor resistant to temperature and climate to solve the above-mentioned problems, and to realize a high-performance alarm system. In providing an alarm system.

차량의 전방 소정의 위치에 밀리웨이브 레이더 센서(10)와 디지털 스틸 카메라(20)가 장착된 차량이 주행중일 경우 밀리웨이브 레이더 센서(10)에 구비된 송신부는 주기적으로 77㎓주파수대역의 신호를 전파하게 되고, 전파된 신호는 선행차량에 부딪쳐 자차로 되돌아오게 되면 밀리웨이브 레이더 센서(10)에 구비된 수신부가 이를 수신하여 자차와 선행차량 상호간의 거리 및 속도를 산출하여 제어부(50)로 출력한다.When the vehicle equipped with the milliwave radar sensor 10 and the digital still camera 20 is driving at a predetermined position in front of the vehicle, the transmitter provided in the milliwave radar sensor 10 periodically outputs a signal of 77 kHz frequency band. When the propagated signal hits the preceding vehicle and returns to the own vehicle, the receiver provided in the milliwave radar sensor 10 receives the received signal and calculates the distance and speed between the own vehicle and the preceding vehicle and outputs it to the controller 50. do.
또한, 디지털 스틸 카메라(20)는 주기적으로 자차의 전방 환경을 촬상하게 되고, 이 촬상된 화상신호를 디지털신호 처리부(30)로 출력한다. 그러면 디지털신호 처리부(30)는 화상신호를 처리하여 차선의 구별, 라인 상에서의 자차의 위치 및 자차의 전방에 위치하는 것이 차량인지 가로수인지 등을 구별하여 자차와 선행차량과의 대상체 각도를 산출하여 제어부(50)로 출력한다.In addition, the digital still camera 20 periodically photographs the front environment of the host vehicle, and outputs the captured image signal to the digital signal processing unit 30. Then, the digital signal processor 30 processes the image signal to calculate the object angle between the host vehicle and the preceding vehicle by distinguishing the lane, the position of the host vehicle on the line, and whether the vehicle is located in front of the host vehicle or the roadside tree. Output to the controller 50.
한편, 제어부(50)는 상술한 밀리웨이브 레이더 센서(10)와 디지털신호 처리부(30)에서 입력된 선행차량과의 거리와 속도정보 및 차선과 대상체의 각도 등에 의한 정보를 알 수 있으며, 또한 다수의 외부센서(40)인 와이퍼 작동감지센서(44)를 통해 기후를 감안하게 되고, 조향센서(43)에 의해 조향장치의 틀어짐에 의한 도로의 곡선상태를 알 수 있으며, 방향지시등 작동감지센서(42)에 의해 자차의 차선변경 유무 상태를 알 수 있다.On the other hand, the controller 50 can know the distance and the speed information of the preceding vehicle input from the above-described milliwave radar sensor 10 and the digital signal processing unit 30 and the information by the angle of the lane and the object, etc. Considering the weather through the wiper operation sensor 44, which is an external sensor of the 40, the steering sensor 43 can know the curved state of the road due to the steering device is distorted, the direction indicator light operation sensor ( 42) it is possible to know the lane change status of the own vehicle.
그러므로 제어부(50)에 구비된 신호처리부(51)는 상대거리 및 상대속도에 대한 정보를 제어부(50)가 인식할 수 있는 신호로 처리하여 대상체 감지부(52), 운전상황 감지부(53) 및 위험평가 감지부(54)로 출력한다.Therefore, the signal processor 51 provided in the controller 50 processes the information on the relative distance and the relative speed into a signal that can be recognized by the controller 50, thereby detecting the object detector 52 and the driving situation detector 53.

The control unit 54 controls the alarm sound generating unit 60 to generate a short intermittent sound and continues to approach the distance between the own vehicle and the preceding vehicle even after a short intermittent sound is generated in the alarm sound generating unit 60. The risk assessment detection unit 54 controls the alarm sound generation unit 60 to generate a continuous alarm sound.
물론, 자차와 선행차량과의 거리를 m 단위로 하여 디스플레이부(70)에 디스플레이시킴으로써, 선행차량과의 거리를 운전자가 인식하여 선행차량과의 일정하게 안전거리를 유지하면서 운전할 수 있도록 한다.Of course, by displaying the distance between the host vehicle and the preceding vehicle in m units, the display unit 70 displays the distance between the preceding vehicle and the driver so that the driver can drive while maintaining a constant safety distance with the preceding vehicle.
