Abstract:
1. A method for sensing a wind and controlling a vehicle using a parking assist system (PAS) including a plurality of ultrasonic sensors and output devices, comprising: controlling, by a controller, a first ultrasonic sensor disposed at a front side of the vehicle to transmit an ultrasonic signal; receiving, by the controller, respective primary indirect signals received from the ultrasonic sensors at the front side other than the first ultrasonic sensor; controlling, by the controller, a second ultrasonic sensor adjacent to the first ultrasonic sensor to transmit the ultrasonic signal; receiving, by the controller, respective primary indirect signals received from the ultrasonic sensors at the front side other than the second ultrasonic sensor; and sensing, by the controller, the direction of the wind through a comparison of relative sizes of waveforms of each primary indirect signal and each secondary indirect signal.
