Abstract

A device for identifying a road surface includes: storage for storing a deep learning-based road surface model; and a controller configured to identify a type of a road surface on which a vehicle is currently traveling, using the road surface model. The device for identifying a road surface can identify a type of a road surface on which the vehicle is traveling based on deep learning and control the terrain mode of the vehicle based on the identified type of the road surface. The type of the road surface on which the vehicle is traveling may be identified with a high accuracy and an optimal terrain mode may be set, thereby improving not only travel stability but also riding comfort of the vehicle.
