Abstract

A system for controlling an overtake maneuver of a control vehicle includes a controller. The controller is structured to: receive at least one overtake parameter associated with a control vehicle for overtaking a front vehicle in a vehicle lane; receive an indication of a direction of traffic in an overtake lane that is adjacent to the vehicle lane; receive an indication that the at least one overtake parameter satisfies at least one condition according to the direction of the traffic in the overtake lane; and in response to the at least one overtake parameter satisfying the at least one condition according to the direction of traffic in the overtake lane, execute an overtake maneuver by adjusting at least one parameter of the control vehicle or providing a command to an operator of the control vehicle to execute the overtake maneuver.
