Abstract:
1. A device for controlling shift in a vehicle comprising: a data detector configured to detect data for shift control; and a controller configured to determine a short-term driving tendency of a driver using the data, determine a long-term driving tendency of the driver using the short-term driving tendency of the driver, and control shift in the vehicle in consideration of a running mode of the vehicle and the long-term driving tendency which are determined from the data, wherein the controller determines whether the running mode is a first mode, wherein when it is determined that the running mode is the first mode, the controller determines whether a long-term driving tendency index of the driver is equal to or greater than a predetermined reference value, wherein when it is determined that the long-term driving tendency index of the driver is equal to or greater than the predetermined reference value, the controller changes the running mode to a second mode, and wherein when it is determined that the long-term driving tendency index of the driver is less than the predetermined reference value, the controller maintains the running mode as the first mode.
