Abstract: The present invention relates to a bus system connected by a mechanical link, and an apparatus and a method for controlling such a bus system, more particularly, to an apparatus and a method, in driving of a bus system including a front vehicle driven by a driver and a rear vehicle connected to the front vehicle by the mechanical link and without a driver, for controlling each of the front vehicle and the rear vehicle so that the rear vehicle performs autonomous driving based on front vehicle information and sensor information.
According to the present invention, the passenger capacity of the bus is increased, but the manufacturing cost is lowered and smooth maintenance is possible, and the safety is guaranteed in case of a sudden failure or error of the system, and the passenger capacity is flexible as needed. It provides a bus system that enables change, and also minimizes the width of the road occupied when the vehicle turns (turning width) and enables smooth driving on the slope, so that there is no loss of performance of the vehicle compared to the conventional general bus and that does not require additional training or attention of the driver due to such problems in driving.
