Assignee: HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY
Field: Transport (Mechanical engineering)
Classification: CPC B | IPC B

Claim 3:
4. A vehicle height control apparatus comprising:
an information acquisition device configured to acquire pressure data on a pressure inside an air tank storing compressed air and obstacle data on an obstacle in front of a vehicle; and
a controller configured to calculate a target vehicle height based on the obstacle data, to set a required time required for controlling a vehicle height to reach the target vehicle height based on the pressure of the compressed air inside the air tank, and to determine a vehicle height control timing and control the vehicle height at the vehicle height control timing,
wherein the obstacle data includes a height of the obstacle and an arrival time required to arrive at the obstacle from the vehicle, and
wherein the controller is further configured to calculate a difference value between the arrival time and the required time and to determine a time point at which the difference value is less than or equal to a threshold time as the vehicle height control timing.
