3.2.8: Provide Automated Lane Changing

This process shall be responsible for providing automated lane changing within a work zone. The process shall receive traffic sensor data from sensors within the work zone. The process shall receive control data from another process in Provide Automatic Vehicle Operation. Based upon these inputs the process shall develop a lane changing strategy, and shall develop detailed lane changing parameters (e.g. exactly where, and at what speed the lane change will take place). The process shall output lane change strategy information and detailed lane change parameters to the process that provides actual vehicle control.

This process is associated with the Connected Vehicle Roadside Equipment physical object.

This process is associated with the following functional objects:

• RSE Automated Vehicle Operations
• RSE Low Emissions Zone Application
