Vehicle control apparatus and method thereof

A vehicle control method, comprising:

• identifying one or more of a driving position of a host vehicle, a driving mode of the host vehicle, a driving speed of the host vehicle, and an outdoor air temperature of the host vehicle;
• identifying whether the host vehicle enters a tunnel based on the driving position;
• and
• performing sensor data correction logic for controlling an air conditioning device wherein the performing of the sensor data correction logic comprises:
• identifying whether the driving speed is greater than or equal to a specified speed in response to identifying that the host vehicle is in the tunnel;
• and
• in response to the driving speed being greater than or equal to the specified speed:
• (i) updating sensing data for the outdoor air temperature at every first time interval in response to the outdoor air temperature increasing;
• and
• (ii) updating the sensing data for the outdoor air temperature at every second time interval in response to the outdoor air temperature decreasing, wherein the second time interval is shorter than the first time interval.

A vehicle control method, comprising:

• identifying one or more of a driving position of a host vehicle, a driving mode of the host vehicle, a driving speed of the host vehicle, and an outdoor air temperature of the host vehicle;
• identifying whether the host vehicle enters a tunnel based on the driving position;
• performing sensor data correction logic for controlling an air conditioning device based on one or more of whether the host vehicle enters the tunnel, the driving speed, an amount of change in the outdoor air temperature, and the driving mode of the host vehicle, wherein the performing of the sensor data correction logic comprises:
• identifying whether the driving speed is greater than or equal to a specified speed in response to identifying that the host vehicle is in the tunnel;
• and
• in response to the driving speed being greater than or equal to the specified speed:
• (i) updating sensing data for the outdoor air temperature at every first time interval in response to the outdoor air temperature increasing;
• and
• (ii) updating the sensing data for the outdoor air temperature at every second time interval in response to the outdoor air temperature decreasing, wherein the second time interval is shorter than the first time interval;
• adjusting an operation parameter of the air conditioning device based on a difference between an actual temperature in the tunnel and a temperature outside the tunnel;
• and
• maintaining a minimum value for the actual temperature in the tunnel when an error occurs between the outdoor air temperature identified by a sensor device and the actual temperature in the tunnel.
