Abstract
An apparatus and method for identifying surrounding vehicles is provided. The apparatus includes a sensor that measures position coordinates of a first surrounding vehicle and a yaw rate and a speed of a subject vehicle and a V2V communication unit that receives a coordinate history and a speed from the plurality of surrounding vehicles. Additionally, a controller generates a traveling trajectory and a speed pattern as first identification information by applying accumulated behaviors of the subject vehicle to the position coordinates of the first surrounding vehicle and calculate each traveling trajectory and speed pattern as n-th identification information based on the coordinate history and the speed received via the V2V communication unit. The controller then compares the first identification information with the n-th identification information to recognize the surrounding vehicle corresponding to identification information most similar to the first identification information as the first surrounding vehicle.
