The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for controlling the suspension of a vehicle and, more specifically, to an apparatus and method for controlling a suspension of a vehicle, wherein the apparatus is capable of recognizing an obstacle located on a road surface ahead of a vehicle, determining the type of the obstacle in accordance with the outdoor brightness (for example, an illuminance value) of the vehicle, and controlling the suspension based on control information corresponding to the type of obstacle when the vehicle is passing through the obstacle, thereby improving riding comfort. To achieve the purpose, in accordance with the present invention, the apparatus for controlling a suspension of a vehicle may comprise: an illuminance sensor measuring the outdoor illuminance of a vehicle; a camera photographing an image of a road surface ahead of the vehicle; and a control part recognizing an obstacle located on the road surface based on the front image of the road surface, determining the type of the obstacle in accordance with the outdoor illuminance of the vehicle, and controlling the damping force of the suspension based on control information corresponding to the type of the obstacle when the vehicle is passing through the obstacle.

    본 발명은 차량의 서스펜션 제어 장치 및 그 방법에 관한 것으로, 차량의 전방 노면에 위치한 장애물을 인식하고, 상기 차량의 실외 밝기(일례로, 조도값)에 따라 상기 장애물의 유형(Type)을 결정하며, 상기 차량이 장애물 통과 시 상기 장애물의 유형에 상응하는 제어정보에 기초하여 서스펜션을 제어함으로써, 승차감을 향상시킬 수 있는 차량의 서스펜션 제어 장치 및 그 방법을 제공하고자 한다. 이를 위하여, 본 발명은 차량의 실외조도를 측정하는 조도센서; 상기 차량의 전방 노면영상을 촬영하는 카메라; 및 상기 전방 노면영상에 기초하여 노면에 위치한 장애물을 인식하고, 상기 차량의 실외조도에 따라 상기 장애물의 유형을 결정하며, 상기 차량이 상기 장애물 통과 시 상기 장애물의 유형에 상응하는 제어정보에 기초하여 서스펜션의 감쇠력을 제어하는 제어부를 포함할 수 있다.
