  • Patent number: 11066075
    Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for controlling a vehicle based on a detected object. The apparatus may detect an object through a plurality of ultrasonic sensors, and directly and indirectly detect the object through the plurality of ultrasonic sensors by a controller and if at least one of a direct distance value and an indirect distance value from the object is equal to or smaller than a preset distance determination reference value, determine that the object exists in a short-range area.

  • Patent number: 11046306
    Abstract: An automatic parking control apparatus includes a vehicle state determiner configured to determine whether a host vehicle is in a double-parked state in which a gear state of the host vehicle is neutral (N) and a starting state of the host vehicle is off, a movement detector configured to, when it is determined that the host vehicle is in the double-parked state, detect whether the host vehicle is moving, a parking space detector configured to, when it is detected that the host vehicle is moving, perform monitoring in a direction opposite to that of the detected movement and detect a parking space, and a controller configured to, when the parking space is detected, calculate a travel path for parking the host vehicle in the detected parking space and control the host vehicle so that the host vehicle is parked along the travel path.

  • Patent number: 10960926
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a smart parking assist system may include: a forward object sensing unit, a lateral object sensing unit, a rearward object sensing unit, an object distance calculation unit configured to calculate distance from a lateral object and a rearward object, a parking control unit, and a steering angle adjusting unit. The parking control unit recognizes left parallel exiting, right parallel exiting or perpendicular exiting based on a distance from a forward object sensed through the forward object sensing unit, a distance from a rearward object sensed through the rearward object sensing unit, and a distance from a lateral object sensed through the lateral object sensing unit, and controls steering angle adjustment such that the vehicle moves through the recognized left parallel exiting, right parallel exiting or perpendicular exiting. The steering angle adjusting unit adjusts a steering angle according to steering control signal of the parking control unit.

  • Patent number: 10166979
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a parking assist system including: a rear object recognizer that recognizes a rear object existing behind a vehicle through rear sensors; a reversing controller that controls the vehicle to reverse until an entry rate to the parking space becomes a first reference value or more, and ends reversing control when a distance between the vehicle and the rear object becomes less than a second reference value; a rear object position storage that stores position information of the rear object and increases a count when the reversing control is ended on the basis of the distance between the vehicle and the rear object; and a system terminator that ends parking control when the position information of the rear object before and after the count is increased is substantially the same.
