Title: Vehicle control system and method
Inventor: ADAM HUSSEIN ADWAN
IPC: B60W30/18
Filed: 2018-11-14
Abstract: A control system 4100 for a host vehicle configured to determine a requirement to overtake 4102 a road use, increase the separation 4104 between the host vehicle and road user based on the overtake determination, and subsequently cause an acceleration 4106 and manoeuvre 4108 of the host vehicle. The system is designed to reduce an obstruction of the host vehicle to other road users by matching or approaching a potentially higher traffic speed in a second lane. Preferably, completing the manoeuvre is dependent on an abort condition (4204, Fig.5) not being satisfied. Abort conditions may include the presence of another road user within the second lane, or a user in a third lane converging with the host vehicle. The abort conditions may be checked before the host manoeuvres into the second lane, or after the host has commenced acceleration. The increased separation and/or acceleration could be based on speed-dependent variables of the host or another road user, or a variable associated with infrastructure. A method of operating the system is also provided.
