Abstract
An apparatus is for controlling rear wheel steering of a vehicle including a tractor and a trailer connected to each other. The apparatus includes a computing device having a processor and a storage medium on which one or more programs configured to be executable by the processor are recorded. The one or more programs include instructions for executing an operation of selecting a target rear wheel steering angle based on a minimum hitch angle between a tractor and a trailer and a sensed hitch angle value between the tractor and the trailer. The minimum hitch angle is not converged by a controllable front wheel steering angle and a controllable rear wheel steering angle of the tractor.
