APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING VEHICLE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

A vehicle control apparatus includes a vehicle state sensor configured to detect state information of a vehicle, a braking force adjuster configured to adjust a braking force of the vehicle, a driving force adjuster configured to adjust a driving force of the vehicle, and a controller configured to control the braking force adjuster and the driving force adjuster, in which, when a steering system fails, the controller is configured to apply partial braking to the vehicle by providing a braking force to turn-direction inner wheels of the vehicle through the braking force adjuster according to a steering situation to allow the vehicle to turn left or right, and is configured to apply compensated driving to the vehicle by providing a compensating driving force corresponding to a reduction in braking force by the partial braking to driving wheels of the vehicle through the driving force adjuster.
