An apparatus and method of determining a driving state of a moving object using a gravity value sensor and a speed measurement device is provided. Specifically, disclosed is an apparatus and method that can determine whether a moving object is in a level driving state or in an inclining/declining-slope driving state using a Y-axis measurement value of an acceleration sensor and a speed of a speed measurement unit.

Apparatus and method for deciding travel condition of vehicle

A method and apparatus of determining a straight-driving state or a turning state of a moving object using an acceleration sensor are provided. The method of determining a turning state using a sensor includes: reading sensor output signals of different axes from an acceleration sensor while a moving object is being driven wherein the acceleration sensor is an at least two axes acceleration sensor and detects an acceleration of the moving object; and comparing the read sensor output signals of the different axes and determining whether the moving object is in a straight-driving state or in a turning state.
