Abstract
An anticipatory lane change system is described for assisting a host vehicle positioned in a current lane that is adjacent an adjacent lane. The anticipatory lane change system may include an identification module that identifies a potential lane change location and receives proximate vehicle data associated with proximate vehicles. The anticipatory lane change system may include a prediction module that predicts future kinematic data at a future time for a set of the proximate vehicles. The anticipatory lane change system may include a determination module that determines whether a gap will be available at the potential lane change location at the future time based on the future kinematic data. The anticipatory lane change system may include a lane change module that initiates a lane change maneuver for the host vehicle in response to determining that the gap will be available at the potential lane change location at the future time.
