The present invention relates to an apparatus for controlling the suspension of a vehicle and a method thereof. More specifically, the present invention provides an apparatus for controlling the suspension of a vehicle and a method thereof, wherein the apparatus recognizes an obstacle located on a road surface at the front side of a vehicle, determines the type of the obstacle depending on the amount of precipitation around the vehicle, and controls the suspension based on control information corresponding to the type of obstacle when the vehicle passes through the obstacle, thereby enhancing ride comfort. The apparatus for controlling the suspension of a vehicle according to the present invention comprises: a sensor measuring the amount of precipitation around a vehicle; a camera capturing an image of the road surface at a front side of the vehicle; and a control unit recognizing an obstacle located on the road surface based on the image of the road surface at the front side, determining the type of obstacle depending on the amount of precipitation around the vehicle, and controlling the damping force of the suspension based on control information corresponding to the type of obstacle when the vehicle passes through the obstacle.

    본 발명은 차량의 서스펜션 제어 장치 및 그 방법에 관한 것으로, 차량의 전방 노면에 위치한 장애물을 인식하고, 상기 차량 주변의 강우량에 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 차량 주변의 강우량을 측정하는 센서; 상기 차량의 전방 노면영상을 촬영하는 카메라; 및 상기 전방 노면영상에 기초하여 노면에 위치한 장애물을 인식하고, 상기 차량 주변의 강우량에 따라 상기 장애물의 유형을 결정하며, 상기 차량이 상기 장애물 통과 시 상기 장애물의 유형에 상응하는 제어정보에 기초하여 서스펜션의 감쇠력을 제어하는 제어부를 포함할 수 있다.
