Abstract
The present invention relates to a parking control apparatus and a parking control method. In particular, the present invention relates to a parking control apparatus and a parking control method in which an initial parking space searched while a vehicle is moved is corrected into a final parking space in a space recognition correction section based on a situation at the time of searching by the vehicle and information for an obstacle which is acquired while the vehicle moves along a first parking route, the position of the vehicle is changed, and then a final parking route is calculated.
Claims7
A parking control apparatus comprising:
- an initial parking space setting unit configured to set an initial parking space by receiving an input of information for at least one obstacle positioned around a moving vehicle from a first sensor so as to search a parking space;
- a vehicle control unit configured to calculate a first parking route using information for the initial parking space and to control the vehicle to move along the first parking route;
- a parking space correction unit configured, when it is determined that the vehicle exists in a space recognition correction section, to correct the initial parking space based on the information for the obstacle recognized in the space recognition correction section so as to set a final parking space, the space recognition correction section being a section where, among obstacles positioned on opposite sides of the initial parking space, an obstacle positioned closer to the vehicle is recognized through a second sensor while the vehicle moves along the first parking route;
- and
- a final parking route calculation unit configured, when it is determined that the vehicle enters a route correction control section, to control the vehicle to change a position thereof and to calculate a final parking route on information for the final parking space and information for a changed position of the vehicle, the route correction control section being set to extend by a predetermined distance from an end point of the space recognition correction section.
