The present invention relates to a lane change system and a lane change method of a vehicle, and enables a safe lane change by showing a blind spot to a driver through a display unit formed in a rear camera and a side mirror when changing a lane of a vehicle. It relates to a system and a method.
In general, when driving a vehicle, the driver can easily identify and determine the situation in the forward direction, but the left, right, and rear sides of the vehicle are blind spots of the driver's field of view. To this end, room mirrors, side mirrors, and rearview mirrors are mounted on the interior and exterior surfaces of the vehicle.
However, common means for securing a field of view, such as a room mirror, a side mirror, and a rearview mirror, is made of a mirror of a general type that identifies objects by using light reflection, and their positions are distributed and installed inside and outside the vehicle, respectively. According to the direction that the driver wants to check, there is a problem of inconvenient use of actively turning the head or turning the eyes to determine the situation for each position from a distance.
In addition, the above-described field securing means, as a mirror structure that allows the object to be judged by its simple function of light reflection, the clarity of the subject or the reflecting range of the object must be extremely limited. The trailing and side blind spots result in structural problems that cannot be identified at all.
In other words, if the rearview mirror of the driver's or front passenger's seat is a flat mirror, there is no refraction, which provides accurate distance and reflection of the shape, but the blind spot inevitably occurs in the rear side of the car due to the small viewing angle. Become,
In particular, the side mirror formed on the front passenger's side is far from the driver's seat, so the reflection angle of the mirror that the driver can see is very small, so that the mirror is installed slightly convex from both sides of the mirror to secure the driver's viewing angle. It is decisive that it is almost impossible to secure the field of vision.
As a result, the conventional flat side mirrors installed in the vehicle while driving have a small rear viewing angle, and the central convex rearview mirror designed to compensate for this is another problem. Because it is difficult to do it, and because it is limited to give a convex angle due to the refraction phenomenon, which is a special phenomenon of glass material, it implies the risk of contact accident and large accident by left turn, right turn, and interruption with the oncoming vehicle from the side and rear. When the side mirror having the auxiliary mirror is purchased and attached to the existing vehicle, the adjustment means becomes cumbersome because it has to be adjusted according to the physical conditions of different drivers.
Also, in recent years, when reversing a car, an automobile system is provided which operates a camera provided at the rear of the vehicle body to display a rear view with a display device provided therein.
However, such a conventional vehicle rear monitoring camera is not expected to change the selective position of the camera according to a series of fully fixed installation structure that must be bolted to the already set position, providing a fixed rear image to the driver There was a problem.
Therefore, in changing lanes of a running vehicle, there is no system for completely eliminating blind spots and thus it is not possible to completely guarantee driving stability of the vehicle. There is a need for a system and a method for providing a rearward and rearward captured image to a driver to enable a lane change of a safe vehicle.
The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a lane change system that can secure the field of view of the blind spots in the rear and rear using a rear camera while driving the vehicle. have.
