SYSTEM AND METHOD OF AVOIDING REAR-CROSS TRAFFIC COLLISION

A system configured to avoid a rear-cross traffic collision includes an obstacle detection unit detecting a position of an obstacle by receiving electromagnetic waves reflected off a reflection point of the obstacle; a direction estimation unit estimating a traveling direction of the obstacle on the basis of the position of the obstacle detected by the obstacle detection unit; and a collision determination unit determining possibility of a collision with the obstacle on the basis of the traveling direction of the obstacle estimated by the direction estimation unit.
