1. A control method for a hybrid vehicle comprising:

  • detecting, by a driving request detecting unit, when either an accelerator or brake pedal is operated;

    determining, by an operating point determining unit, a state of charge (SOC) of a battery when the vehicle is driving in a hybrid electric vehicle mode;

    measuring, by an operating point compensation unit, a degree of incline a vehicle is currently traveling on and determining an atmospheric pressure that the vehicle is currently driving in;

    determining, by the operating point determining unit, a motor operating point and an engine operating point when the battery is below a preset SOC; and

    compensating, by the operating point compensation unit, the motor operating point and the engine operating point by applying the degree of incline of the vehicle and the atmospheric pressure to a compensation calculation,wherein a shift speed is kept below a certain shift speed to increase an engine RPM when the vehicle is driving above a first certain climbing degree, andwherein the charging amount of the battery by the motor is limited when the vehicle is driving below to a second certain climbing degree to prevent or reduce generation of vibration.
