Patent attributes
A vehicle includes a surrounding information detector detecting at least one of a position and a speed of an object around the vehicle including a vehicle ahead and a vehicle behind, a vehicle information sensor detecting at least one of a speed and an acceleration of the vehicle, a brake module generating a braking force to decelerate the vehicle, and a controller configured to determine probabilities of a forward collision and a rear-end collision based on output of the surrounding information detector and the vehicle information sensor, determine target forward and rear collision speeds to minimize a sum of injuries to an occupant by the forward collision and injuries to the occupant by the rear-end collision upon determination that there is the probabilities of the forward collision and the rear-end collision, and control the brake module based on the target forward collision speed and the target rear-end collision speed.
