METHOD OF CONTROLLING ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE OF VEHICLE HAVING DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION

摘要

A method of controlling an electronic parking brake of a vehicle having a dual clutch transmission. The method includes: identifying a slope of an area in which the vehicle is located in order to determine whether the identified slope exceeds a predetermined slope value; determining whether both of two clutches are opened in a safe mode when the identified slope exceeds the predetermined slope value; determining whether the vehicle moves upward in a front direction when both of the two clutches are opened; and operating the electronic parking brake when the vehicle moves upward in the front direction. When the vehicle moves upward in the front direction on the inclined road, the electronic parking brake is automatically operated to prevent the vehicle from slipping in the rear direction. Therefore, the method can effectively improve the safety of the driver and vehicle even when the driver is inept in pedal operation.
