Patent ID: 8721499

Claim:
A method of controlling a clutch of a vehicle, comprising: an accelerator-pedal-manipulation determining operation of determining whether an accelerator pedal has been manipulated during a creep control; and a connection control operation of controlling a clutch control torque actually applied to the clutch by gradually and continuously increasing the clutch control torque from a creep torque to a launch torque, if it is determined in the accelerator-pedal-manipulation determining operation that the accelerator pedal was manipulated during the creep control; wherein the connection control operation comprises: determining a final creep torque by adding a creep compensation torque to the creep torque, wherein the creep compensation torque and the creep torque are determined depending on a manipulation rate of the accelerator pedal that is input during the creep control, comparing the final creep torque with the launch torque which is calculated depending on the manipulation rate of the accelerator pedal, and determining the clutch control torque to be the final creep torque if the final creep torque is greater than the launch torque or the launch torque if the launch torque is equal to or greater than the final creep torque.
