중립 주행 제어 장치는 차량의 제동에 이용되는 제동부 및 차량정보를 기초로 주행 중인 차량의 제동성능에 대한 한계값을 결정하고, 상기 한계값과 상기 한계값에 대응하는 주행 중인 차량의 실제값을 비교하여, 차량이 제동성능 범위 내로 주행하도록 상기 제동부를 제어하는 중립 주행 제어부를 포함하고, 상기 한계값은 차량의 실제 중량과 도로의 구배율을 포함한 주행상태가 상기 차량의 제동성능을 초과하는지 여부를 판단하는 기준이 되는 값이다. 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.
