Abstract
The present disclosure provides an apparatus for controlling distribution of torque of front and rear wheel of a four-wheel drive (4WD) vehicle, including: a slip control torque calculator configured to calculate slip control torque of the rear wheels from information collected from the vehicle during driving in a 4WD mode; a handling control torque calculator configured to calculate handling control torque for the rear wheels from information collected from the vehicle during driving in the 4WD mode; a weighting factor determiner configured to determine a slip control weighting factor and a handling control weighting factor based on vehicle state information; and a target torque calculator configured to calculate target torque of rear wheel by summing the weighting factors applied to the slip control torque and handling control torque, respectively, wherein the target torque of the rear wheel is a target value of the torque distributed to the real wheel.
