APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING TRANSMISSION OF VEHICLE

An apparatus for controlling a transmission of a vehicle includes: a prediction device that obtains first driving data of the vehicle while driving in a predetermined section of a road ahead of a speed bump and predicts second driving data of the vehicle behind the speed bump, based on the first driving data of the vehicle; a calculation device that calculates a predicted gear ratio of the transmission, based on the predicted second driving data and a grade of the predetermined section of the road ahead of the speed bump; and a controller that determines a target gear ratio into which a current gear ratio of the transmission is to be shifted based on the predicted gear ratio and performs transmission control for the vehicle according to the determined target gear ratio.
