Systems and methods for controlling overtake maneuver in vehicles

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a controller, at least one overtake parameter associated with a control vehicle for overtaking a front vehicle in a vehicle lane, the at least one overtake parameter comprising a number of rear vehicles traveling in an overtake lane behind the control vehicle within a rear distance horizon;
• receiving, by the controller, an indication of a direction of traffic in the overtake lane that is adjacent to the vehicle lane;
• receiving, by the controller, 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, the at least one overtake parameter comprising the number of rear vehicles traveling in the overtake lane behind the control vehicle within the rear distance horizon, and the at least one condition comprising a predefined threshold number of rear vehicles;
• and
• in response to the number of rear vehicles being less than the predefined threshold number of rear vehicles, executing, by the controller, 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.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions therein that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• receiving at least one overtake parameter associated with a control vehicle for overtaking a front vehicle in a vehicle lane, the at least one overtake parameter comprising a number of rear vehicles traveling in an overtake lane behind the control vehicle within a rear distance horizon;
• receiving an indication of a direction of traffic in the overtake lane that is adjacent to the vehicle lane;
• receiving 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, the at least one overtake parameter comprising the number of rear vehicles traveling in the overtake lane behind the control vehicle within the rear distance horizon, and the at least one condition comprising a predefined threshold number of rear vehicles;
• and
• in response to the number of rear vehicles being less than the predefined threshold number of rear vehicles, executing 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.
