Vehicle and controlling method thereof
View Patent ↗A vehicle is provided and includes a GPF (gasoline particulate filter) that is configured to store a soot generated in an engine and burn the soot and a sensor that is configured to detect a first soot mass included in the GPF. A controller is configured to calculate a second soot mass estimated at the ignition off based on the detected first soot mass and determine an inlet temperature of the GPF based on the second soot mass and a predetermined reference value. The engine is then operated based on the determined inlet temperature of the GPF.

4. The vehicle according to claim 3 , wherein the controller is configured to determine the inlet temperature of the GPF based on the comparison and a driving speed detected by the sensor.
5. The vehicle according to claim 4 , wherein the controller is configured to:
determine a first inlet temperature of the GPF when the second soot mass exceeds the predetermined reference value; and
determine a second inlet temperature of the GPF less than the first inlet temperature of the GPF when the second soot mass is less than or equal to the predetermined reference value.
6. The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to operate the engine based on at least one of a revolution per minute (RPM), an ignition timing, or an air-conditioning ratio.
7. The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to turn off the engine when the detected first soot mass is equal to or less than the predetermined reference value.
8. The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to determine whether to turn on the engine based on a high-voltage battery power consumed by a low direct voltage converter (LDC), and operate the engine based on the determined inlet temperature of the GPF.
9. The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to determine whether to turn on the engine based on a charging amount of a high-voltage battery, and operate the engine based on the determined inlet temperature of the GPF.
10. The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to calculate the second soot mass based on at least one of the first soot mass, a soot accumulation speed, an average time of ignition or a time correction.
11. A controlling method of a vehicle, comprising:
determining, by a controller, whether to turn on an engine for an air conditioner;
