ACCELERATION LIMIT APPARATUS AND METHOD

Disclosed is an acceleration limit function relaxation apparatus. The apparatus may determine, based on information indicating manipulation of a brake pedal of a vehicle during an acceleration limit mode, that the vehicle is in a temporary braking state, determine a vehicle speed, measured at a start of the manipulation of the brake pedal, as a target vehicle speed for reacceleration, determine, based on information indicating manipulation of an accelerator pedal, that the vehicle is reaccelerated, determine an acceleration limit relaxation factor based on a cumulative braking amount calculated by measuring amounts of braking during the temporary braking state, and cause acceleration limit relaxation of the vehicle by applying the acceleration limit relaxation factor to an acceleration limit of the vehicle.
