Abstract
The present invention relates to a control device and method of a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) to which Downhill Brake Control (DBC) is applied, and determines whether to perform a braking control of the HEV, by comparing a current vehicle speed of the HEV with a target vehicle speed of the HEV upon operating a DBC function, calculates a braking demand amount based on a difference between the current vehicle speed and the target vehicle speed when the braking control is determined, and controls a vehicle speed of the HEV by determining whether to perform cooperative control of a regenerative braking and a brake hydraulic braking, based on the braking demand amount and a maximum regenerative braking possible amount.
