Abstract
A vehicle lean inspection apparatus that determines whether a vehicle is leaning during a driving test, includes: a communication module connected to a diagnostic communication module through an OBD-II connector of the vehicle to collect state information of driving of the vehicle; an acceleration sensor to measure an acceleration signal generated by a vertical vibration during driving of the vehicle to recognize a start point and an end point of an inspection interval of a predetermined reference distance; a gyro sensor to measure a road slope during the driving of the vehicle; and a controller to collect state information of the vehicle to measure an actual driving distance passing through the inspection interval, and to determine that the vehicle leans when the remaining driven distance calculated based on a first distance increment and a second distance increment exceeds the reference distance.
