Abstract

A method of controlling wheel slip of a vehicle and an apparatus thereof, the method includes determining, by a controller, a torque command for a driving device configured to drive the vehicle based on vehicle operation information obtained by an operation information detector while the vehicle is traveling, obtaining, by the controller, real-time vertical load information of a left wheel and a right wheel of the vehicle while the vehicle is traveling based on the vehicle operation information collected in the vehicle, determining, by the controller, a threshold engagement torque for control of a limited slip differential from the obtained real-time vertical load information, comparing, by the controller, a real-time torque command determined in real time based on the vehicle operation information, with the determined threshold engagement torque, and controlling, by the controller, the limited slip differential to be engaged so that differential action of a differential is limited when the real-time torque command exceeds the threshold engagement torque.
