Classification: CPC B | IPC B

Claim 9:
10. A vehicle height control method comprising:
acquiring pressure data on a pressure inside an air tank storing compressed air and obstacle data on an obstacle in front of a vehicle; and
calculating a target vehicle height based on the obstacle data, setting 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, determining a vehicle height control timing, and controlling 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
the determining a vehicle height control timing includes:
calculating a difference value between the arrival time and the required time; and
determining a time point at which the difference value is less than or equal to a threshold time as the vehicle height control timing.
