Vehicle control apparatus and method thereof

Abstract

A vehicle control apparatus includes a plurality of tire pressure sensors respectively mounted on a plurality of wheels of a vehicle, a plurality of antennas each configured to transmit low frequency (LF) signals for triggering the plurality of tire pressure sensors to the tire pressure sensors present in an area where a transmit signal of the respective antenna reaches, a receiver configured to drive the antennas and receive radio frequency (RF) signals transmitted from the tire pressure sensors in response to receiving the LF signals, one or more processors, and a storage device storing a program to be executed by the one or more processors, the program including instructions to determine which wheel each tire pressure sensor is mounted on based on the RF signals received from the tire pressure sensors present in the area where the transmit signal of the respective antenna reaches.
