Referring to FIG. 2, when the autonomous driving control apparatus 100 displays a vehicle as a block (square), it is possible to group adjacent vehicles based on the host vehicle 101 in a matrix manner.

Referring to FIG. 3, the autonomous driving control device 100 may be grouped in a 3 * 3 matrix manner, such as 301, or in a 3 * 5 matrix manner, such as 302, or in a 5 * 5 matrix manner, such as 303 And the size of grouping can be changed as needed. At this time, examples such as 3 * 3 matrix based are not limited thereto, and the size of the matrix may be changed at any time.

Referring to FIG. 4, group 2 may be configured such that some of the vehicles of group 1 already grouped overlap, and grouping may be performed such that some of the vehicles included in group 2 may constitute group 3. In this way, multiple groups can be connected like a ring.

In addition, the processor 140 may generate a plurality of groups including the host vehicle when the host vehicle is grouped with the surrounding vehicle having a similar driving direction and destination while the host vehicle is traveling. The processor 140 may share vehicle driving information between vehicles in the grouped group, and if there is a vehicle in which communication failure occurs among vehicles in the grouped group, fail-safe mode as a vehicle in which communication failure occurs ). At this time, fail-safety (fail-safety) is a technology that can maintain a safe driving by placing additional devices or systems in case of vehicle failure and malfunction. Fail-safe technology is more important in autonomous vehicles due to the high proportion of electronic devices and the need for self-driving vehicles without drivers.

5 is an exemplary grouping at the time of shipment of an autonomous driving control device according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 6 is an exemplary view of regrouping a plurality of groups according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 7 is an embodiment of the present invention A diagram for describing a method of regrouping a plurality of groups according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, the autonomous driving control apparatus 100 may randomly group a plurality of vehicles that are shipped. FIG. 5 discloses an example in which a total of five groupings of Group 1, Group 2, Group 3, Group 4, and Group 5 are performed.

Referring to FIG. 6, the autonomous driving control apparatus 100 may connect the five groups grouped in FIG. 5 to each other to generate new groups 6, 7 and 8. That is, the autonomous driving control device 100 may configure group 6 by connecting group 1 and group 3, group 7 by connecting group 2 and group 4, and group 8 by connecting group 3 and group 5. have. Accordingly, the group 6 and the group 8 are connected to the common denominator of the group 3, so that the group 1, the group 3, the group 5, the group 6, the group 8 may include overlapping vehicles. As such, a group is expanded by connecting a plurality of groups to create a new group, and the group sharing vehicle information can be expanded by the expansion. In addition, by storing the information of each other, the vehicle is released so that it is possible to determine whether to operate the vehicle information by using the information of the own vehicle stored in another vehicle when a problem such as manipulation of the vehicle information occurs later. In addition, the autonomous driving control apparatus 100 may periodically monitor the communication signal values of the grouped vehicles to determine whether hacking has occurred.

The processor 140, when the host vehicle is designated as a main communication vehicle communicating with the outside among a plurality of autonomous vehicles in one of the at least one group,

Communication data with the outside can be transmitted to surrounding vehicles grouped with the host vehicle. In addition, the processor 140 may sequentially change and designate the surrounding vehicles grouped with the host vehicle as the main communication vehicle according to a predetermined cycle.

In this way, when the vehicle is shipped, grouping is performed to prevent manipulation of vehicle information when other vehicles have vehicle information. At this time, in order to protect personal information, the vehicle information may not be disclosed to the users of each vehicle, but only the vehicle maker.

8 is a view for explaining a variable method of vehicle communication between grouped vehicles according to another embodiment of the present invention. The autonomous driving control device 100 is likely to be hacked from external communication when communicating with the outside. Accordingly, only one vehicle 101 among the vehicles grouped is configured to communicate with the external transmitting device 201, and the vehicle performing communication with the outside is transmitted to the remaining vehicles 102, 103, and 104 in the group from the outside. The received information is transmitted, and the information transmitted by the remaining vehicles 102, 103, and 104 is transmitted to the outside. At this time, the vehicle that communicates with the outside is randomly changed among the vehicles in the group according to a predetermined cycle so that it can be applied. That is, when one vehicle continues to communicate with the outside as the main, the possibility of the vehicle being hacked from the outside increases, so that all vehicles in the group turn to become the main vehicle to communicate with the outside, minimizing external hacking can do.

As described above, the present invention can prevent vehicle control errors due to hacking and the like by sharing vehicles information by grouping vehicles in a block chain manner, thereby increasing driving stability, and preventing an operation of recording of a vehicle when an accident occurs. It is possible to further enhance the security of the driving vehicle, thereby enhancing the marketability.

Hereinafter, an autonomous driving control method based on a blockchain method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 9. 9 is a flowchart for explaining a method for controlling autonomous driving based on a blockchain method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and shows grouping and autonomous driving methods of grouped vehicles during driving. Hereinafter, it is assumed that the autonomous driving control device 100 of FIG. 1 performs the process of FIG. 9. In addition, in the description of FIG. 9, an operation described as being performed by the autonomous driving control device 100 may be understood as being controlled by the processor 140 of the device 100.

Referring to FIG. 9, when the autonomous driving control apparatus 100 starts driving after the vehicle starts (S101), it determines whether the vehicle is currently in the autonomous driving mode (S102). If the vehicle is not in the current autonomous driving mode state, that is, in the normal driving mode, the autonomous driving control device 100 maintains the current driving mode (S103).

Meanwhile, when the vehicle is currently in the autonomous driving mode, the autonomous driving control device 100 checks the driving direction and the destination of the host vehicle (S104). At this time, the autonomous driving control device 100 may check the driving direction and destination of the host vehicle in conjunction with the navigation device 400.

Subsequently, the autonomous driving control apparatus 100 determines whether there are autonomous vehicles in the vicinity of the road on which the host vehicle travels (S105). At this time, the autonomous driving control device 100 may attempt to communicate with the surrounding vehicle and determine that the surrounding vehicle exists if the communication is successful.

Accordingly, when there is no autonomous vehicle in the vicinity of the road on which the host vehicle travels, the current driving state is maintained (S106). On the other hand, when there is an autonomous vehicle in the vicinity of a road on which the host vehicle travels, the autonomous vehicle control apparatus 100 determines whether the traveling direction and the destination of the surrounding vehicle are similar to the traveling direction and destination of the host vehicle (S107). That is, the autonomous driving control apparatus 100 may compare the driving direction and the destination of the host vehicle with the driving direction and the destination of the surrounding vehicle using the driving information received from the surrounding vehicle.

Accordingly, when the driving direction and the destination of the surrounding vehicle are different from the driving direction and the destination of the host vehicle, the autonomous driving control apparatus 100 ends without performing grouping. On the other hand, when the driving direction and the destination of the surrounding vehicle are similar to the driving direction and the destination of the host vehicle, the autonomous driving control device 100 groups the surrounding vehicle and the host vehicle (S108). At this time, the grouping may be grouped based on a matrix, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, but the shape and number of the matrix may be changed according to the number of surrounding vehicles.

The autonomous driving control device 100 shares a driving record with a vehicle in the grouped group (S109), periodically communicates with the grouped vehicle, and determines whether a communication error occurs (S110). At this time, the communication abnormality may include a case in which data transmission and reception fails.

At this time, when a communication error of one vehicle among the grouped vehicles occurs, the autonomous driving control device 100 may request that the vehicle enter the fail safety mode as a vehicle having a communication error. In addition, when it is determined that a communication abnormality of the host vehicle is received or a notification notification that a communication error of the host vehicle has occurred is received from the vehicle in the group, the autonomous driving control device 100 enters the host vehicle into the fail safety mode (S111).

Thereafter, the autonomous driving control device 100 of the vehicle entering the fail-safe mode may continue to control autonomous driving by using the driving record shared with the surrounding vehicle (S112).

As described above, according to the present invention, one vehicle is grouped by hacking or the like by communicating with surrounding vehicles while the vehicle is driving, grouping vehicles having similar driving directions and destinations, and sharing driving information among the grouped vehicles. Even if a communication error occurs, safe driving is possible by continuing autonomous driving based on previously shared vehicle driving information.

In addition, according to the present invention, even if one of the grouped vehicles is deleted by hacking or the like by sharing driving information with each other among a plurality of grouped vehicles, actual vehicle information can be restored based on the shared driving information of another vehicle. You can.

Accordingly, the present invention provides vehicle driving information in a grouped vehicle even if an accident occurs due to a vehicle control error by manipulating the record of the vehicle in the event of an accident or an accident by the other party by manipulating the record of the vehicle of the accident. Is shared, and such an operation can be grasped easily.
