Abstract
An electric power steering apparatus and a control method thereof. A motor includes a first motor providing power to move a rack and a second motor providing power to move the rack in synchronization with the first motor. A sensor includes a torque angle sensor detecting a torque value and a steering angle in response to manipulation of a steering wheel and an angle sensor detecting an angle of rotation of a sector shaft. A controller controls the motor in response to the manipulation of the steering wheel, calculates an amount of compensation rotation of the motor by comparing the steering angle and the angle of rotation, and controls an amount of rotation of the motor in accordance with an amount of compensation rotation. The amount of rotation of a vehicle's wheel is controlled, so that actual intention of the driver in steering is accurately reflected.
