System and method of determining long term driving tendency of driver

Abstract

A system and a method of determining a long term driving tendency of a driver may include a data detector detecting data for determining the long term driving tendency and a short term driving tendency of the driver; and a controller determining the short term driving tendency and the long term driving tendency of the driver based on the data received from the data detector, and controlling an engine or a transmission according to the short term driving tendency of the driver or the long term driving tendency of the driver, wherein the controller continuously determines the short term driving tendency of the driver for a predetermined time and determines the long term driving tendency of the driver from a predetermined number (n) of short term driving tendencies of the driver.
