Abstract:
1. A parking assistance apparatus comprising: a sensing unit sensing at least one of a forward access distance and a backward access distance to a current surrounding object according to forward driving and backward driving of a vehicle during parking of the vehicle; a controller performing an electronic parking brake operation using an electronic parking brake driving apparatus during parking of the vehicle and including predetermined forward access distance range and backward access distance range to a reference surrounding object; a first judgment unit judging whether or not at least one of the forward access distance and the backward access distance to the current surrounding object, sensed by the sensing unit, deviates from at least one of the forward access distance range and the backward access distance range to the reference surrounding object under control of the controller; a display unit displaying the at least one access distance and the at least one access distance range, if the first judgment unit judges that the at least one of the forward access distance and the backward access distance to the current surrounding object deviates from the at least one of the forward access distance range and the backward access distance range to the reference surrounding object; and a steering driving unit driving an electronic steering driving apparatus under control of the controller until the at least one access distance enters the at least one access distance range, based on the at least one access distance and the at least one access distance range, displayed on the display unit.
