Variable control apparatus and method for determining short-term driving tendency
First Claim
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.

Abstract
A variable control apparatus and method determines a short-term driving tendency. The apparatus may include 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 the 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 of the first short-term driving tendency index and the second short-term driving tendency index for each vehicle speed.
