Apparatus and method for controlling electric parking brake

Abstract

Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for controlling an electric parking brake. The apparatus for controlling an electric parking brake includes a calculation unit which calculates, when a parking operation is clamped to park, based on a current disk temperature sensed in real time by a sensing apparatus, a current parking force loss amount after parking according to the current disk temperature in real time, a determination unit which determines whether the calculated current parking force loss amount is out of a preset reference parking force loss amount range, a driving unit which drives, when the current parking force loss amount is out of the reference parking force loss amount range, the electric parking brake to re-clamp the parking operation according to a target parking force range preset in the calculation unit, and a control unit which receives the current disk temperature, transmits a calculation command to the calculation unit, transmits a determination command to the determination unit, and transmits a driving command to the driving unit.
