Abstract
The present invention provides a parking control system including: a parking mode selection unit that supports a first-stage selection and a second-stage selection, wherein a parallel parking mode or a perpendicular parking mode is selected in the first-stage selection, and a head-in parking mode or a reverse parking mode is selected in the second-stage selection in cases where the perpendicular parking mode is selected in the first-stage selection; a sensor unit comprising a plurality of sensors mounted on one or more of the front, rear, and sides of a vehicle; a parking space search unit that searches for a parking space based on a value detected by the sensor unit; a path setting unit that sets a parking path along which the vehicle is parked in the parking space, which is discovered by the parking space search unit, according to the parking mode selected by the parking mode selection unit; and a parking controller that controls the vehicle to move along the parking path set by the path setting unit.
