Feature: Maintain safe distance from cutting-in vehicle#

Ensures that ego is able to keep a safe distance from a vehicle that cuts in ahead of ego, under different scenarios. This is required to provide ego with enough time to react to sudden changes in movement of the cutting-in vehicle, or other traffic participants ahead.

Scenario Outline: Maintain safe distance from slower vehicle cutting-in from the left#

Confirm that ego is able to adjust its speed such as to maintain a safe distance from a vehicle that cuts in from the left with a constant speed that is slower than itself.

  • Given Ego is driving at
  • And Npc0 is positioned ahead of ego, in the neighboring left lane
  • And Npc0 is driving at , smaller than , in the same direction
  • When Ego approaches Npc0 longitudinally, to within
  • And later Npc0 cuts into the ego lane within a time span of
  • Then Ego starts decelerating to match the speed of Npc0,
  • And Ego drives continuously at all times
  • And Ego keeps its deceleration rate slower than at all times
  • And Ego drives safely with no collisions at all times

Overview

Examples:#

20 km/h 15 km/h 15 m 4 s -1.5 m/s^2
30 km/h 20 km/h 15 m 4 s -1.5 m/s^2
40 km/h 25 km/h 15 m 4 s -1.5 m/s^2

Scenario Outline: Maintain safe distance from slower vehicle cutting-in from the right#

Confirm that ego is able to adjust its speed such as to maintain a safe distance from a vehicle that cuts in from the right with a constant speed that is slower than itself.

  • And Npc0 is driving at , smaller than , in the same direction
  • When Ego approaches Npc0 longitudinally, to within
  • And later Npc0 cuts into the ego lane within a time span of
  • Then Ego starts decelerating to match the speed of Npc0,
  • And Ego drives continuously at all times
  • And Ego keeps its deceleration rate slower than at all times
  • And Ego drives safely with no collisions at all times
