Abstract(E)This paper presents a comprehensive decision-making algorithm for highway overtaking maneuvers, one of the highest risk maneuvers. For such, an overtaking scenario is divided into four phases: approach phase in which the host or overtaking vehicle (HV) detects a slow-moving lead vehicle (LV) in the same lane; left lane change and passing phase in which the HV performs a left lane change and passes the LV; right lane change phase in which the HV comes back to its original lane and free-flowing phase in which the HV maintains its lane and the initially set velocity. Depending on the phase-wise safety zones, the decision-making algorithm makes two decisions: change lane (1 = left lane change, 0 = maintain the same lane, -1 = right lane change) and adjust speed (1 = accelerate, 0 = maintain the current speed, -1 = decelerate). The proposed decision-making algorithm complements the human driver’s decision-making process and can be easily adapted for individual users. Safety and comfort constraints used for defining safety zones and reference trajectories are verified using the highD dataset, consisting of naturalistic vehicle trajectories on German highways. The decision-making algorithm is coupled with a trajectory planner and an operational controller to develop an automated overtaking system. The developed overtaking system is verified in a virtual environment (a combination of Simcenter Prescan and Matlab) by performing many simulations. The results demonstrate the robustness of the decision-making algorithm.

How to use the search box

You can enter up to 5 search conditions. The number of search boxes can be increased or decreased with the "+" and "-" buttons on the right.
If you enter multiple words separated by spaces in one search box, the data that "contains all" of the entered words will be searched (AND search).
Example) X (space) Y → "X and Y (including)"

How to use "AND" and "OR" pull-down

If "AND" is specified, the "contains both" data of the phrase entered in the previous and next search boxes will be searched. If you specify "OR", the data that "contains" any of the words entered in the search boxes before and after is searched.
Example) X AND Y → "X and Y (including)"  X OR Z → "X or Z (including)"
If AND and OR searches are mixed, OR search has priority.
Example) X AND Y OR Z → X AND (Y OR Z)
If AND search and multiple OR search are mixed, OR search has priority.
Example) W AND X OR Y OR Z → W AND (X OR Y OR Z)

How to use the search filters

Use the "search filters" when you want to narrow down the search results, such as when there are too many search results. If you check each item, the search results will be narrowed down to only the data that includes that item.
The number in "()" after each item is the number of data that includes that item.
