SMART CRUISE CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD WITH PATH GENERATING FUNCTION FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLE

摘要

The present invention relates to an autonomous cruise control apparatus and a control method thereof. The autonomous cruise control apparatus comprises: a sensing module configured to detect an object around a host vehicle; a host vehicle movement distance calculation unit configured to calculate a host vehicle movement distance for moving the host vehicle to the left or right using a preset method; and a control module configured to control the host vehicle to move by the host vehicle movement distance when movement of a following vehicle behind the host vehicle by a preset width or more is detected by the sensing module. Therefore, an emergency vehicle may be allowed to smoothly travel during autonomous cruise control by detecting travel of the emergency vehicle and creating a travel path for the emergency vehicle.
