Abstract

Provided are an automatic parking controlling apparatus and method of a vehicle for effectively, safely parking a vehicle in a parking space. The automatic parking controlling apparatus of a vehicle includes a parking space recognizing unit configured to sense an obstacle on the side of a vehicle to recognize a parking space, a gradient angle calculating unit configured to calculate a gradient angle of a road surface by using a gradient of the vehicle and a degree to which the vehicle has slipped backwards according to a comparison between forward movement acceleration of the vehicle and a speed of the vehicle, a parking path calculating unit configured to calculate sequential turning paths for reverse perpendicular parking based on the calculated gradient angle of the road surface and the recognized parking space, and a control unit configured to control steering for reverse perpendicular parking according to the calculated sequential turning paths.
