Abstract
A method of and an apparatus for controlling an engine system having a continuous variable valve duration (CVVD) apparatus and an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) apparatus may include: determining whether an EGR valve of the EGR apparatus is opened; determining an amount of an external EGR gas according to opening of the EGR valve and an amount of an internal EGR gas according to operation of the CVVD apparatus when the EGR valve is opened; comparing a value obtained by summing the amount of the external EGR gas and the amount of the internal EGR gas with an EGR limit value; and decreasing a duration of an intake valve when the value obtained by summing the amount of the external EGR gas and the amount of the internal EGR gas is greater than the EGR limit value.
