Claim 0:
1. A method for controlling autonomous lane change of a moving body, the method comprising:
calculating a driving route from a current location of the moving body to a destination;
determining whether an intersection or a forked road exists at a predetermined distance from the current location of the moving body on the calculated driving route;
checking, when the intersection or the forked road exists, link information corresponding to a lane in which the moving body is located, and determining a moving direction toward the intersection or the forked road;
determining an entry route for entering the intersection or the forked road according to the determined moving direction; and
generating a control signal for controlling a moving direction of the moving body according to the determined entry route,
wherein the determining of an entry route includes:
determining whether a lane for the moving body to run in is to be changed according to the moving direction toward the intersection or the forked road; and
when the lane for the moving body to run in is to be changed, determining a traffic flow on a direction change lane in which the moving body is to run and a lane adjacent to the direction change lane according to the moving direction.
