Abstract
An example vehicle control system for automated lane changes includes front and rear cameras of a host vehicle, and a vehicle control module configured to identify a lane add location along a target travel path of the host vehicle, determine start and end point locations associated with the lane add location, determine a current merge commitment score according to a current location of the host vehicle between the start and end point locations, wherein the current merge commitment score decreases in response to decreasing distance between the host vehicle and the end point location, and in response to the current merge commitment score being less than a specified abort maneuver threshold, control an automated driving system of the host vehicle to abort a set automated lane change maneuver of the host vehicle into an added lane of the road at the lane add location.
