Abstract:
An apparatus and method for controlling an air suspension of a vehicle are disclosed. The apparatus includes a compressor configured to supply compressed air, a reservoir configured to store compressed air supplied from the compressor and to supply the stored compressed air to the air suspension during vehicle height control, a road information provider configured to provide road state information of a road in front of the vehicle during travel of the vehicle, and a controller configured to determine a vehicle height control position of the air suspension based on the road state information and to operate the compressor before the vehicle arrives at the determined vehicle height control position, thereby filling the reservoir with the compressed air such that an internal pressure of the reservoir reaches at least a predetermined reference pressure.
