A vehicle includes a communicator that is mounted on the vehicle to perform wireless communication with a server and a controller operates the communicator to transmit an accident reception request signal and image data acquired by another vehicle to the server when the vehicle has an accident with an accident target vehicle. The controller operates the communicator to receive a fault ratio from the server when the server generates fault ratio data between the vehicle and the accident target vehicle based on the image data.

A monitoring system may include a memory having computer-readable instructions stored thereon and a processor operatively coupled to the memory. The processor may read and execute the computer-readable instructions to perform or control performance of operations. The operations may include receive, prior to a collision involving a vehicle, sensor data representative of a feature of an internal environment and determine the collision has occurred. The operations may include automatically instruct, based on the collision, a sensor to generate another sensor data representative of another feature of the internal environment. The operations may include receive the another sensor data from the sensor and compare the sensor data and the another sensor data to accident data corresponding to previous accidents. The accident data may include a diagnosed injury and an accident severity of each of the previous accidents. The operations may include determine a severity of the collision based on the comparison.

Systems and methods for detecting low impact collisions for a vehicle (100). The system includes at least one sensor (99, 110, 111, 115, 120-123, 125-136, 140, 141) and an electronic controller (150). The electronic controller (150) is configured to receive sensor data from the sensor (99, 110, 111, 115, 120-123, 125-136, 140, 141) and determine one or more features of the sensor data received from the at least one sensor. The electronic controller (150) is further configured to determine if a collision has occurred based upon the one or more features of the sensor data, and take at least one action in response to determining that the collision has occurred.

A vehicle control apparatus includes a braking controller individually controlling braking forces of braking devices for left and right front and rear wheels, a side collision detector detecting a side collision against a vehicle, and a yaw behavior detector detecting yaw behavior of a vehicle body. If the yaw behavior detected after the side collision is such that a rear of the vehicle body shifts away from a collision side relative to a front thereof, the braking controller executes yaw amplification control to cause the braking device for the collision-side front wheel to generate a braking force larger than the remaining wheels. If the detected yaw behavior is such that the front shifts away from the collision side relative to the rear, the braking controller executes the yaw amplification control to cause the braking device for the collision-side rear wheel to generate a braking force larger than the remaining wheels.

An advanced driving assistance system (ADAS)-linked active hood apparatus for always-on operation is provided. The apparatus includes a rotary arm that is fixed to a hood of a vehicle, a stationary bracket fixed to a vehicle body, and a rotary bracket that rotates upward and downward by applied rotation force. A first link interconnects the rotary bracket and the stationary bracket. A motor unit is integrally connected to the rotary arm and applies driving force to the rotary bracket. A controller receives driving information of the vehicle via an ADAS and sets a pop-up height of the hood. The motor unit then performs pop-up and restoration of the hood when a collision is expected based on the received driving information.

A vehicle control apparatus includes a contact detector, an attitude stabilization processor, and a steering intention determining unit. The contact detector is configured to detect a contact of a vehicle with an object. The attitude stabilization processor is configured to execute an attitude stabilization control that generates a yaw moment at a vehicle body on the basis of a deviation between a target yaw rate and an actual yaw rate. The steering intention determining unit is configured to determine a presence of a driver's intention to perform steering. The attitude stabilization processor is configured to stop the generation of the yaw moment by the attitude stabilization control or reduce the yaw moment to be generated by the attitude stabilization control, in a case where the steering intention determining unit determines that the driver's intention to perform the steering is absent after the detection of the contact by the contact detector.

Aspects of the disclosure provide a of generating and following planned trajectories for an autonomous vehicle. For instance, a baseline for a planned trajectory that the autonomous vehicle can use to follow a route to a destination may be determined. A stopping point corresponding to a traffic control that will cause the autonomous vehicle to come to a stop using the baseline may be determined. Sensor data identifying objects and their locations may be received. A plurality of constraints may be generated based on the sensor data. A planned trajectory may be generated using the baseline, the stopping point, and the plurality of constraints, wherein constraints beyond the stopping point are ignored.

A vehicle having a fuel cell includes a cell stack including a plurality of unit cells stacked on one another, a direct current/direct current (DC/DC) converter configured to convert the level of stack voltage output from the cell stack and including a discharger to remove residual energy thereof, a power distributor configured to distribute the level-converted voltage output from the DC/DC converter or to provide voltage remaining in the cell stack to the discharger to discharge the voltage in response to first control signals, and a controller configured to generate the first control signals depending on whether the vehicle is traveling normally.

An embodiment vehicle includes a camera configured to acquire an external appearance image of the vehicle, a first sensor provided on an outside of the vehicle and configured to detect a position of an object adjacent to the vehicle, an alarm configured to output an alarm notification, and a controller configured to determine a reference area based on the external appearance image of the vehicle and to control the alarm to output the alarm notification when the detected position of the object adjacent to the vehicle is within the reference area.

A vehicle driving assistance apparatus includes a sensing unit for sensing an object outside the vehicle and a processor for obtaining surrounding situation information, based on a location of the object outside the vehicle. The processor is further configured to determine whether the object approaches the vehicle from a traveling lane or a lateral lane, based on the determination of whether the object approaches the vehicle from a traveling lane or a lateral lane, to generate a control signal, and to provide the control signal to a vehicle control system of the vehicle. The generated control signal can control at least one of a drive apparatus of the vehicle, a steering apparatus of the vehicle, or a brake apparatus of the vehicle to either avoid collision between the vehicle and the object or to perform an action that reduces an impulse on the vehicle from the collision.
