SYSTEM FOR AND METHOD OF RECOGNIZING ROAD SURFACE

A system with road surface recognition includes: a signal detection unit configured to detect a vertical location signal of a preceding vehicle using a frontward-direction sensing sensor mounted in a host vehicle; a distance computation unit configured to compute a distance in a longitudinal direction between the host vehicle and the preceding vehicle, and a distance traveled by the host vehicle, in response to the vertical location signal being at or above a setting value; and an obstacle detection unit configured to detect a speeding prevention obstacle located on a road surface, based on a value of a difference between the distance traveled by the host vehicle and the distance in the longitudinal direction between the host vehicle and the preceding vehicle.
