APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING NEUTRAL TRAVEL

A neutral travel control apparatus includes a brake unit used to brake a vehicle, and a neutral travel controller configured to control the brake unit so that the vehicle travels within a braking performance range by determining, based on vehicle information, a limit value of braking performance of the travelling vehicle, and comparing the limit value with an actual value of the travelling vehicle corresponding to the limit value. The limit value is a reference value for determining whether a travel state including an actual weight of the vehicle and a gradient ratio of a road exceeds the braking performance of the vehicle.
