APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING WHEEL CONDITION

An apparatus for determining a wheel condition on whether wheel locking occurs in each wheel of a vehicle having a main brake apparatus and an auxiliary brake apparatus. The apparatus includes: a WSS (Wheel Speed Sensor) configured to primarily detect whether wheel locking occurs; a TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) configured to secondarily detect whether wheel locking occurs; and a control unit configured to determine, when the WSS fails, a wheel condition indicative of whether wheel locking occurs in each wheel, by using information detected through the TPMS.
