Here, the surrounding environment at the future position may be determined by comparing the time at the future time with a predetermined threshold time.
Here, the surrounding environment at the future position can be determined according to the place characteristics shown in the map data.
Here, the controller may determine the brightness level by comparing the brightness of the current point of view with the brightness of the determined future environment from the brightness data of the current point of time, The brightness of the current point of time is bright and the brightness of the future environment is bright or dark, the brightness level is determined to be darker than the preset reference brightness level, and the brightness of the current point is dark If the brightness of the future environment is bright or dark, the brightness level may be determined to be brighter than the standard brightness level.
The controller may predict the brightness of the future environment of the automobile using a sequential Bayesian model.

A specific example of the step s100 for predicting the brightness of the future environment will be described with reference to Fig.
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a concrete example of step s100 for predicting the brightness of the future environment shown in FIG.
Referring to FIG. 3, step s100 of predicting the brightness of the future environment shown in Fig. 2 includes steps of confirming the brightness at the current point of time s110, calculating the future position of the future point of time s130, And determining a brightness at a future location (s150).
In step S110 of checking the brightness at the current point of time, the brightness at the current point of time can be confirmed from the illuminance data provided from the
The step s130 of calculating a future position at a future time point includes the GPS position data provided from the GPS
The step of determining the brightness at the future position (s150) can determine the brightness at the future position by discriminating the surrounding environment at the future position.
Here, the surrounding environment at the future position can be determined from the time at the future time calculated in step s130. For example, the brightness at the future position can be determined by comparing the time at the future time with the set threshold time. More specifically, if the threshold time is set to the sunset time, the brightness at the future position is determined to be bright if the time at the future time is before the set sunset time, The brightness can be determined to be dark. In addition, when the threshold time is set as the sunrise time, the brightness at the future position is determined to be dark if the time at the future time is before the set sunrise time, and the brightness at the future position is bright when the time at the future time is set after the set sunrise time . Here, the threshold time is not limited to a specified sunrise or sunset time, but may be variable. For example, today's sunrise and sunset times may be set via the Internet. Also, the threshold time may be set to a specific time, such as 6 PM. Also, the threshold time may be set considering both the area and the time. The sunrise time and the sunset time of the corresponding location may be set down through the Internet based on the GPS position data.
In addition, the surrounding environment at the future position can be determined according to the characteristic of the place shown in the map data provided from the map

The sequential Bayesian model uses the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method, which is used in the overall Bayesian model, although the update is done sequentially as the data is added, just like the particle filter. Sampling of the sequential Bayesian model measures the posterior distribution using the prior distribution representing the characteristics of the model and the likelihood measured from the data, samples the data from the measured distribution, and the posterior distribution is a series Process. This can be understood to be similar to the process of evolutionary computation, which is repeated with previous generations generation, fitness calculations, and fitness generation. Here, the particle filter is also referred to as a sequential Monte Carlo method, and is a model for estimating and sequentially updating a time-dependent system model based on the Bayesian approach. The overall Bayesian model is based on the data group obtained so far, It is a model that constructs the distribution and then uses an appropriate method for sampling.
