LANE CHANGE CONTROL ARRANGEMENT, A VEHICLE COMPRISING SUCH ARRANGEMENT AND A METHOD FOR CONTROLLING LANE CHANGES

A lane change control arrangement (1), a vehicle (3) and a method (100) are provided. The lane change control arrangement (1) is arranged to: Adjust a host vehicle velocity in accordance with a first velocity profile (17a, 17b) to expand a detectable zone (11 a, 11b, 11 c) to cover a previously undetectable zone (15a, 15b, 15c) of a second road lane (5a, 5c). Detect whether a vehicle (9d) is present in the previously undetectable zone (15a, 15b, 15c). Determine that a lane change is possible or determine that a lane change is unsuitable using the second road lane (5a, 5c) and issuing a control signal to the vehicle drive arrangement (13) to adjust the host vehicle velocity until a safety distance is established between the host vehicle (3) and the detected vehicle (9d). Issue a control signal to the vehicle drive arrangement (13) to perform the lane change.
