Classification: CPC B | IPC B

Claim 9:
10. An apparatus configured to control wheel slip of a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
an operation information detector configured to detect vehicle operation information while the vehicle is traveling;
a controller configured to determine a torque command based on vehicle operation information obtained by the operation information detector, and obtain real-time vertical load information of left and right wheels of the vehicle while the vehicle is traveling based on the vehicle operation information collected in the vehicle; and
a limited slip differential controlled according to a control signal output by the controller,
wherein the controller is configured to determine a threshold engagement torque for control of a limited slip differential from the obtained real-time vertical load information, to compare a real-time torque command determined in real time based on the vehicle operation information, with the determined threshold engagement torque, and to control the limited slip differential to be engaged so that differential action of a differential is limited when the real-time torque command exceeds the threshold engagement torque.
