Abstract
A device for controlling traveling of a vehicle is provided. The device includes a sensor that obtains vehicle traveling information, a navigation that obtains vehicle position information, and a controller that determines whether the vehicle has entered a building based on the vehicle traveling information and the vehicle position information. The controller calculates a traveling control amount based on the determination result. Accordingly, the device actively adjusts a vehicle height even when the vehicle enters the building and travels on a slope in the building preventing damage to a lower portion of the vehicle.
Claims14
A device for controlling traveling of a vehicle, comprising:
- a sensor configured to obtain vehicle traveling information;
- a navigation configured to obtain vehicle position information;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- determine whether the vehicle has entered a building based on the vehicle traveling information and the vehicle position information;
- calculate a traveling control amount based on the determination result,
- calculate a first traveling distance traveled by the vehicle for a predetermined period of time based on the vehicle position information;
- calculate a second traveling distance traveled by the vehicle for the predetermined period of time based on the vehicle traveling information;
- determine whether a difference between the first traveling distance and the second traveling distance exeeds a reference value;
- and
- determine that the vehicle has entered the building in response to determining that the difference exeeds the reference value;
- wherein the controller is configured to operate a damper using the calculated traveling control amount.
A method for controlling traveling of a vehicle, comprising:
- obtaining, by a controller, vehicle traveling information and vehicle position information;
- determining, by the controller, whether the vehicle has entered a building based on the vehicle traveling information and the vehicle position information;
- calculating, by the controller, a traveling control amount based on the determination result, wherein the determining of whether the vehicle has entered the building includes:
- calculating, by the controller, a first traveling distance traveled by the vehicle for a predetermined period of time based on the vehicle position information;
- calculating, by the controller, a second traveling distance traveled by the vehicle for the predetermined period of time based on the vehicle traveling information;
- determining, by the controller, whether a difference between the first traveling distance and the second traveling distance exceeds a reference value;
- and
- determining, by the controller, that the vehicle has entered the building in response to determining the difference exceeds the reference value;
- operating, by the controller, a damper using the calculated traveling control amount.
