A merge assist apparatus to be applied to a vehicle includes a receiver, a processor, and a transmitter. The receiver is configured to receive a first request signal including merging point data regarding a position of a merging point at which a first vehicle plans to merge. The processor is configured to determine whether the vehicle is able to decelerate to a speed less than or equal to a predetermined speed before the vehicle reaches the merging point, based on the merging point data included in the first request signal. The transmitter is configured to transmit, to a second vehicle traveling behind the vehicle, a second request signal including the merging point data included in the first request signal when the processor determines that the vehicle is unable to decelerate to the speed less than or equal to the predetermined speed.
