System and method for controlling distance between vehicles based on location of neighboring vehicles

摘要

The present invention proposes an inter-vehicle distance control system and method for controlling the inter-vehicle distance for not only the front vehicle but also the side vehicle or the rear vehicle based on the positional information of the vehicles located on each side of the vehicle. The proposed inter-vehicle distance control system includes a location information processing unit for obtaining location information of a vehicle and surrounding vehicles located within a predetermined distance from the vehicle; A driving information generator configured to generate driving information of the own vehicle using sensors mounted in the own vehicle; And an inter-vehicle distance controller configured to control the distance between the vehicles and the vehicle based on the location information of the surrounding vehicles, the location information of the vehicle, and the driving information of the vehicle.
