1. A variable control apparatus for determining a short-term driving tendency of a driver according to driving a vehicle, comprising:

  • a driving information collecting unit configured to collect driving information for determining a driving tendency;

    a first short-term driving tendency calculating module configured to calculate a first short-term driving tendency index using a fuzzy control theory based on an inputted opening degree of an accelerator pedal position sensor (APS);

    a second short-term driving tendency calculating module configured to calculate a second short-term driving tendency index using a fuzzy control theory based on an inputted forward vehicle relative speed; and

    a control module configured to calculate a final short-term driving tendency index by differentially applying weight values that correspond to each of the first short-term driving tendency index and the second short-term driving tendency index for each vehicle speed.
