APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SUSPENSION OF VEHICLE

An apparatus for controlling a suspension of a vehicle to improve ride comfort of the vehicle includes: a sensor that measures rainfall around the vehicle, a camera that takes an image of a road surface ahead the vehicle, and a controller that recognizes an obstacle located on the road surface based on the image of the road surface ahead the vehicle. In particular, the controller determines a type of the obstacle depending on the measured rainfall around the vehicle, and controls a damping force of the suspension based on control information corresponding to the determined type of the obstacle when the vehicle passes over the obstacle.
