LANE HAZARD MITIGATION STRATEGY IN ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM

A lane hazard mitigation algorithm includes a sensor for detecting a first hazard in a host road lane and a second hazard in an adjacent road lane, a processor for determining a host lane mitigation including a host lane speed reduction in response to the first hazard and an adjacent lane mitigation including an adjacent lane speed reduction in response to the second hazard, the processor being further configured to generate a lane change control signal in response to the adjacent lane speed reduction being less than the host lane speed reduction and to generate a vehicle speed reduction control signal in response to the host lane speed reduction being less than the adjacent lane speed reduction, and a vehicle controller for controlling a host vehicle in response to the lane change control signal and the vehicle speed reduction control signal.
