Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to an emergency parking location information providing system,

The present invention relates to an emergency parking position information providing system and a method thereof, and more particularly, to a system and a method for providing position information of an emergency parking or a parked vehicle to a nearby vehicle.

There are a lot of accidents that collide with a parked car without any safety measures on a shoulder during a traffic accident on the highway. Especially, it is often the case that a large freight car parks at night near each branch where the movement of the vehicle is dispersed, so that a driver who has been drowsy due to long-distance driving in the middle of the night time can not find a parking vehicle, .

As such, parking on the highway is a major cause of dreadful consequences, but drivers are not really aware of the dangers. If you look at the case of parking on the shoulder of a highway, it is necessary to use the shoulder in case of an emergency such as the occurrence of a traffic accident or breakdown, but most of the time it is merely a drowsiness while driving. There are many cases of sleeping. In this case, no safety measures will be taken and exposure to the risk of accidents will be exposed.

Given the uniqueness of highways that all cars run at high speeds, momentary anxiety can cause major traffic accidents. Especially, it is a terrible and serious violation of laws and accidents that threatens not only the driver himself but also the valuable lives of other drivers.

Some drivers of a breakdown vehicle have a safety tripod at the rear of the car when it is parked on the shoulder of a night time highway and think that it is perfectly safe to operate the vehicle emergency light. Because there are many vehicles that run on the expressway during night time, there are many vehicles that are under speeding or drowsy driving. When these vehicles see the tail light of a parked vehicle, they sometimes misunderstand that the vehicle is normally running. Is often mistaken for an induction signal. Therefore, the shoulder of a highway is not a safety zone that ensures the safety of the driver.

In the patent technology related to the parking on the shoulder, the method of controlling the parking on the shoulder or the system has been mainstream in the past because the shoulder parking is regarded as an object of the control. However, the present invention provides a system and method for preventing a safety accident by previously providing location information of a parked or emergency parked vehicle in a vehicle running in the rear direction.

The technology that is the background of the present invention is disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2009-0052611 (published on May 26, 2009).
