APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING SHORT-TERM DRIVING TENDENCY
First Claim
1. An apparatus for determining a short-term driving tendency of a driver driving a vehicle, comprising:
- a driving information collecting unit configured to collect driving information for determining the short-term driving tendency;
a short-term driving tendency calculating module configured to receive input variables for determining the short-term driving tendency and calculate a short-term driving tendency index using a fuzzy control theory; and
a calculation prohibition control module configured to check an accelerator position sensor (APS) signal of the vehicle and prohibit calculation of the short-term driving tendency index when an APS opening degree is equal to or less than a predetermined reference value.

8. A method of determining a short-term driving tendency of a driver driving a vehicle, comprising:
-
receiving input variables for determining the short-term driving tendency and detecting an accelerator position sensor (APS) signal from the input variables; determining whether an APS opening degree satisfies a short-term driving tendency index calculation prohibition condition in which the APS opening degree is equal to or less than a predetermined reference value; and prohibiting calculation of a short-term driving tendency index of the driver when the APS opening degree satisfies the short-term driving tendency index calculation prohibition condition. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
