Abstract
In a vehicle including a shift-by-wire (SBW) transmission which may be parked in the neutral gear position of the transmission, method for controlling parking thereof includes determining whether the vehicle is in a situation in which neutral parking is required according to sensor information, when the vehicle is stopped, outputting first information configured to get a confirmation on whether a driver intends to perform the neutral parking from the driver, when the controller concludes that the vehicle is in the situation in which the neutral parking is required and when a park (P) gear position is input or an ignition of the vehicle is turned off, and controlling the SBW transmission to shift to a neutral (N) gear position, when there is an agreement input as a response to the first information.

A method for controlling parking of a vehicle including a shift-by-wire (SBW) transmission, the method comprising:
- determining, by a controller, whether the vehicle is in a situation in which neutral parking is required according to sensor information, when the vehicle is stopped;
- outputting, by the controller, first information configured to get a confirmation on whether a driver intends to perform the neutral parking from the driver, when the controller concludes that the vehicle is in the situation in which the neutral parking is required and when a park (P) gear position is input or an ignition of the vehicle is turned off;
- and
- controlling, by the controller, the SBW transmission to shift to a neutral (N) gear position, when there is an agreement input as a response to the first information.
A vehicle comprising:
- a shift-by-wire (SBW) transmission;
- at least one sensor;
- an input/output unit;
- and
- a controller electrically connected to the SBW transmission, the at least one sensor and the input/output unit and configured to determine whether the vehicle is in a situation in which neutral parking is required according to sensor information provided by the at least one sensor, when the vehicle is stopped, to output first information configured to get a confirmation on whether a driver intends to perform the neutral parking from the driver through the input/output unit, when the controller concludes that the vehicle is in the situation in which the neutral parking is required and when a park (P) gear position is input or an ignition of the vehicle is turned off, and to control the SBW transmission to shift to a neutral (N) gear position, when there is an agreement input as a response to the first information.
