Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed are a mount control system and method for vehicles in which a camera of an electronically controlled suspension system with road preview photographs a road surface condition of a road ahead of a vehicle, a suspension controller determines a road surface state of the road based on photographed information of the camera, and a mount controller controls semi-active mounts to be in an on state or in an off state based on road surface state determination information transmitted from the suspension controller and values detected by wheel acceleration sensors mounted on wheels of the vehicle, so as to improve not only NVH performance but also driving vibration damping performance depending on the road surface state.
