Abstract
A vehicle passing assistance system to assist a passing maneuver through an oncoming traffic lane includes a wireless communications system configured to connect with surrounding vehicles, a user interface configured to provide information about the passing maneuver, and sensors configured to measure operating parameters of the vehicle during the passing maneuver. A controller is in signal communication with the wireless communications system, the user interface, and the one or more sensors. During the passing maneuver, the controller is programmed to detect the vehicle is traveling on a non-divided roadway where the passing maneuver will occur through the oncoming traffic lane, detect initiation of the passing maneuver, scan for and connect to surrounding vehicles via the wireless communications system, receive data from the connected vehicles, and display information to a driver of the vehicle, based on the received data and measured operating parameters, regarding the initiated passing maneuver.
