ADAS-linked active hood apparatus and method of controlling the same

An advanced driving assistance system (ADAS)-linked active hood apparatus, comprising:

• an ADAS device configured to measure information regarding a driving state of a vehicle and an object;
• a collision sensor unit positioned at a front of the vehicle and configured to measure whether collision with the object occurs;
• an active hood lift system (AHLS) configured to raise one end of a hood of the vehicle based on a signal from the collision sensor unit;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• set a pedestrian detection threshold (PDT) turn;
• receive information regarding a plurality of front objects from the ADAS device to compensate for a PDT;
• compensate for an output reference value of the collision sensor unit based on the compensated PDT;
• and
• determine whether collision occurs using the collision sensor unit to adjust pop-up of the AHLS when an output value equal to or greater than the compensated reference value is applied,
• wherein the controller is configured to compensate for the PDT using at least one piece of information of a predicted collision order measured by the ADAS device, vehicle speed after compensation, a position of the object in a lateral direction, or an object type,
• wherein the controller is configured to calculate an output value corresponding to a set margin value and a reliability level to compensate for the PDT, and
• wherein the controller is configured to decrease the output reference value of the collision sensor unit in response to recognizing a pedestrian as the object according to the set margin, and is configured to increase the output reference value of the collision sensor unit in response to recognizing a non-pedestrian as the object according to the set margin.
