Overtaking maneuver scenario building for autonomous vehicles with PreScan software

Abstract Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) are vehicles able to imitate human driving, control skills, and the ability to perceive the environment around them while driving on the road. Therefore, one of the techniques that should be studied in detail is the overtaking maneuver, which is one of the most dangerous scenarios for AVs on the road, since overtaking generates variations in the acceleration and deceleration of vehicles and changes in the normal circulation of vehicles when they change over to another lane. The overtaking maneuver consists of overtaking another vehicle which is traveling in the same direction at a slower speed. The article proposes a simulation of an overtaking maneuver scenario with AVs through the use of simulation software denominated PreScan, which incorporates an Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Technology Independent Sensors (TIS) in order to carry out the overtaking maneuver. The results showed that AVs are capable of performing overtaking maneuvers in an urban environment that involves conventional vehicles. Therefore, using software that simulates AVs overtaking maneuvers becomes a useful tool to interpret AVs performance with the obstacles that exist on the road.
