Claim 10:
11. An apparatus for controlling autonomous lane change of a moving body, the apparatus comprising:
a communication unit receiving destination information from the moving body; and
a controller calculating a driving route from a current location of the moving body to the destination information, 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, 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,
wherein the controller determines 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 land for the moving body to run in is to be changed, the controller determines a traffic flow in 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, and determines an entry spot of the moving body according to the determined traffic flow, and
wherein the controller generates a control signal for controlling a moving direction of the moving body according to the determined entry route.
