Abstract
An apparatus for controlling a regenerative braking of a vehicle includes a sensor detecting information about forward driving environment, and a controller configured to: calculate an estimated time-to-collision between a forward vehicle and an ego vehicle when the forward vehicle is detected by the sensor, compare a first regenerative braking level determined based on the estimated time-to-collision with a second regenerative braking level determined based on distance information about the forward vehicle; determine a final regenerative braking level depending on the compared result; and control a regenerative braking drive based on the determined final regenerative braking level.
