Abstract
A vehicle that can adaptively adjust a sensing distance of an ultrasonic sensor according to operation of the vehicle includes: a steering device for steering a wheel; a power device for transmitting power to the wheel; a braking device for braking the wheel; an ultrasonic sensor for detecting an external object; an input device for receiving an input from a user; a transceiver for communicating with a user terminal; and a controller for adjusting a sensing distance of the ultrasonic sensor based on whether a user input for automatic parking is received through the input device or the transceiver and controlling at least one of the steering device, the power device, or the braking device based on an output of the ultrasonic sensor and the user input.
Claims16
A vehicle comprising:
- a steering device configured to steer a wheel;
- a power device configured to transmit power to the wheel;
- a braking device configured to brake the wheel;
- an ultrasonic sensor configured to detect an external object;
- an input device configured to receive an input from a user;
- a transceiver configured to communicate with a user terminal;
- and
- a controller configured to adjust a sensing distance of the ultrasonic sensor based on whether a user input for automatic parking is received through the input device or the transceiver and control at least one of the steering device, the power device, or the braking device based on an output of the ultrasonic sensor and the user input,
- wherein the controller adjusts the sensing distance of the ultrasonic sensor by adjusting the output of the ultrasonic sensor.
A control method of a vehicle comprising a steering device configured to steer a wheel, a power device configured to transmit power to the wheel, a braking device configured to brake the wheel, an ultrasonic sensor configured to detect an external object, an input device configured to receive an input from a user and a transceiver configured to communicate with a user terminal, the method comprising:
- adjusting a sensing distance of the ultrasonic sensor based on whether a user input for automatic parking is received through the input device or the transceiver;
- and
- controlling at least one of the steering device, the power device, or the braking device based on an output of the ultrasonic sensor and the user input,
- wherein the sensing distance of the ultrasonic sensor is adjusted by adjusting the output of the ultrasonic sensor.
