An embodiment of the present invention provides a vehicular system for outputting an alert when an abnormal driving situation is detected and a method of controlling the same.

In a particular embodiment, the present invention provides a vehicular system for considering the surrounding conditions, such as a route and a time period, in order to determine whether to output an alert, and a method of controlling the same.

Additional advantages, objects, and features of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows and in part will become apparent to those having ordinary skill in the art upon examination of the following or may be learned from practice of the invention. The objectives and other advantages of the invention may be realized and attained by the structure particularly pointed out in the written description and claims hereof as well as the appended drawings.

As an example, a method of outputting a warning of a vehicle includes making a request for a route to a telematics center, receiving route information, a reference point, and point-deduction standard information from the telematics center in response to the request, setting the received reference point and deducting a point corresponding to the point-deduction standard information from the reference point whenever a point-deduction behavior is detected, and when a current point is equal to or less than a preset reference point, issuing the warning, wherein the reference point and the point-deduction standard information are determined in consideration of each of a time period of the request and at least one road included in the route information.
