The present invention relates to an apparatus for controlling the platooning of vehicles and a method thereof. An objective of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for controlling the platooning of vehicles and a method thereof which correct the acceleration (hereafter, the measurement acceleration) of a preceding vehicle measured by a following vehicle based on the acceleration (hereafter, the estimation acceleration) of a leading vehicle estimated by using an accelerator position sensor (APS) value and a brake position sensor (BPS) value of the leading vehicle, and use the corrected acceleration (hereafter, the correction acceleration) to control the platooning of following vehicles to minimize the range of fluctuation of distances between vehicles and improve the fuel efficiency of following vehicles. To achieve the objective, the apparatus for controlling the platooning of vehicles comprises: a communication unit to receive estimation acceleration from a leading vehicle; a radar sensor to measure the acceleration of a preceding vehicle; and a control unit to use the estimation acceleration received from the leading vehicle and the acceleration (hereafter, the measurement acceleration) of the preceding vehicle measured by the radar sensor to calculate correction acceleration, and control the platooning of vehicles based on the calculated correction acceleration.

    본 발명은 차량의 군집주행 제어 장치 및 그 방법에 관한 것으로, 선두차량의 APS(Accelator Position Sensor) 값과 BPS(Brake Position Sensor) 값을 이용하여 추정한 선두차량의 가속도(이하, 추정 가속도)를 기반으로 후속차량이 측정한 선행차량의 가속도(이하, 측정 가속도)를 보정하고, 상기 보정된 가속도(이하, 보정 가속도)를 이용하여 후속차량의 군집주행을 제어함으로써, 차간거리의 변동폭을 최소화하는 것은 물론 후속차량의 연비를 향상시킬 수 있는 차량의 군집주행 제어 장치 및 그 방법을 제공하고자 한다. 이를 위하여, 본 발명은 차량의 군집주행 제어 장치에 있어서, 선두차량으로부터 추정 가속도를 수신하는 통신부; 선행차량의 가속도를 측정하는 레이더 센서; 및 상기 선두차량으로부터 수신한 추정 가속도와 상기 레이더 센서에 의해 측정된 선행차량의 가속도(이하, 측정 가속도)를 이용하여 보정 가속도를 산출하고, 상기 산출된 보정 가속도에 기초하여 차량의 군집주행을 제어하는 제어부를 포함한다.
