Abstract
A vehicle includes a brake device; a storage configured to store a first setting value and a second setting value having a smaller magnitude than the first setting value; a communicator configured to receive an automatic parking signal; a detector configured to detect at least one of an object or whether the vehicle is in contact with the object; and a controller configured to control the brake device based on a detection result of the detector and the first setting value, and to control the brake device based on the detection result and the second setting value when the automatic parking signal is received.
Claims20
A vehicle comprising:
- a brake device;
- a memory having a first setting value and a second setting value stored therein, the second setting value having a smaller magnitude than the first setting value;
- a first sensor;
- a second sensor;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- determine whether the vehicle is in a parking state or a normal driving state that is not a parking state;
- receive information from the first sensor related to the presence of an object;
- receive information from the second sensor related to whether a passenger is present in the vehicle;
- determine whether an automatic parking signal has been received when it is determined that no the passenger is present in the vehicle;
- when the vehicle is in the normal driving state, compare the first setting value and a relative acceleration magnitude of the object with respect to the vehicle and control the brake device based on a result of comparing the first setting value and the relative acceleration magnitude;
- and
- when the vehicle is in the parking state, compare the second setting value and the relative acceleration magnitude of the object with respect to the vehicle and control the brake device based on a result of comparing the second setting value and the relative acceleration magnitude;
- wherein the first setting value stored in the memory is a first relative acceleration threshold value of the object with respect to the vehicle when the vehicle is in the normal driving state;
- and
- wherein the second setting value stored in the memory is a second relative acceleration threshold value of the object with respect to the vehicle when the vehicle is in the parking state.

A method of controlling a vehicle comprising:
- operating the vehicle in a parking state or a normal driving state that is not a parking state;
- detecting the presence of an object when operating the vehicle;
- detecting whether a passenger is present in the vehicle;
- when in the normal driving state, comparing a first setting value and a relative acceleration magnitude of the object with respect to the vehicle and controlling a brake device of the vehicle based on a result of comparing the first setting value and the relative acceleration magnitude of the object;
- determining whether an automatic parking signal is received when it is determined that no passenger is present in the vehicle;
- and
- when in the parking state, comparing a second setting value and the relative acceleration magnitude of the object with respect to the vehicle when in the parking state and controlling the brake device based on a result of comparing the second setting value and the relative acceleration magnitude of the object;
- wherein the first setting value is a first relative acceleration threshold value of the object with respect to the vehicle when the vehicle is in the normal driving state;
- wherein the second setting value is a second relative acceleration threshold value of the object with respect to the vehicle when the vehicle is in the parking state;
- and
- wherein the second setting value has a smaller magnitude than the first setting value.
