Abstract
A system and method for controlling a vehicle, where the system includes independent driving modules each including a connection device having a rotation center spaced apart from a driving shaft in a forward/rearward direction and configured to connect the wheel and a vehicle body to move the wheel in the forward/rearward or an upward/downward direction, a shock absorber extending in a longitudinal direction and configured to contract or stretch, to connect the vehicle body and the connection device, and to restrict an upward/downward movement of the connection device, and a driving device configured to rotate the wheel, a road surface detector configured to detect a height displacement or a state of a road, and a controller configured to control velocities of the front and rear wheels of the independent driving modules, and to change a height of the vehicle based on the height displacement or the state of the road.
