Abstract
A traction control method and a traction control apparatus for a vehicle are provided. The traction control method includes: estimating driving torque for each wheel and a difference between left and right wheel rotation speeds; determining a situation, in which the difference between the left and right wheel rotation speeds exceeds a first set value, to be a split wheel spin situation; estimating a maximum coefficient of friction between a spinning wheel and a road surface in the split wheel spin situation and estimating a maximum driving torque, at which the road surface is acceptable, by the maximum coefficient of friction; and obtaining a difference between driving torque of the spinning wheel and the maximum driving torque to calculate a road surface limitation excess driving torque and determining entry into traction control when the road surface limitation excess driving torque exceeds a second set value.
