Autonomous Driving Control Apparatus and Method for Determining Lane Change and Timing thereof Based on Analysis for Shapes and Links of Forward Road

摘要

In order to provide a convenient, stable, and efficient way of reaching a destination through autonomous driving, the present invention automatically determines whether it is required to change a lane or not by considering the shape of a front road, a connection relation between roads, a speed limit, a number of lanes, event (e.g., intersections, crosswalks, confluence, bifurcation, speed bumps, dead-end, etc.), etc. which are recognized through a precision map, and efficiently determines a lane changing timing when a lane change is required.
