Research questionHow can autonomous vehicles anticipate target-gap choice and model longitudinal preparation before mandatory lane changes?A vehicle may need to choose a target gap and reposition longitudinally before lateral movement begins, even when the eventual gap is not yet geometrically obvious. Treating lane changing as only a lateral maneuver can miss this preparatory phase.

Latest papersRecent research connected to this question, newest first.Pre-Lane-change Signal in Transitional Autonomous Vehicles: Results from Controlled ExperimentsThe evidence comes from 150 controlled mandatory lane changes involving a production transitional autonomous vehicle. Relative position and speed at an operational pre-lane-change signal are used to predict whether the vehicle merges ahead of or behind the nearest target-lane vehicle, while longitudinal progression to lane-change start is examined separately.research paper · Sep 2, 2026
