Disclosed are an apparatus for cleaning the sensor of an autonomous vehicle and a control method thereof. The apparatus comprises: a startup detection unit detecting the startup state of a vehicle; a sensor cleaning unit cleaning a sensor module; a storage unit storing sensor data input from the sensor module when the vehicle is turned off; an output unit outputting the contamination status of the sensor module to an autonomous driving control unit; and a control unit receiving the startup status of the vehicle from the startup detection unit, storing, in the storage unit, the sensor data input from the sensor module when the vehicle is turned off, comparing the sensor data stored in the storage unit with the sensor data input from the sensor module when the vehicle is turned on, to operate the sensor cleaning unit, and outputting the contamination status of the sensor module through the output unit. Therefore, sensor recognition performance can be increased.

    본 발명은 자율주행 차량의 센서 세척장치 및 그 제어방법이 개시된다. 본 발명의 자율 주행 차량의 센서 세척장치는, 차량의 시동상태를 감지하는 시동 감지부; 센서모듈을 세척하기 위한 센서 세척부; 시동 오프 시 센서모듈로부터 입력된 센서 데이터를 저장하는 저장부; 자율주행 제어부에 센서모듈의 오염상태를 출력하는 출력부; 및 시동 감지부로부터 차량의 시동상태를 입력받아 시동 오프 시 센서모듈로부터 입력된 센서 데이터를 저장부에 저장하고, 시동 온 시 저장부에 저장된 센서 데이터와 센서모듈로부터 입력된 센서 데이터를 비교하여 센서 세척부를 구동시키고, 출력부를 통해 센서모듈의 오염상태를 출력하는 제어부;를 포함하는 것을 특징으로 한다.
