Introduction
Lane change decision aid systems (LCDAS) warn the driver against collisions that can occur due to a lane
change manoeuvre. LCDAS are intended to supplement the vehicle’s interior and exterior rear-view mirrors;
they are not intended to eliminate the need for such mirrors. LCDAS are intended to detect vehicles in the
adjacent lanes to the rear and sides of the subject vehicle (see Figure 1). When the subject vehicle driver
indicates the desire to make a lane change, the system evaluates the situation and warns the driver if a
lane change is not recommended. The absence of a warning does not guarantee that the driver can safely
make a lane change manoeuvre. The system will not take any automatic action to prevent possible collisions.
Responsibility for the safe operation of the vehicle remains with the driver.
NOTE Many figures in this document show vehicles on roadways with lane markings. This is not intended to imply
that lane marking recognition or lane detection is required for an LCDAS. The lane markings are drawn for reference
only.

1 Scope
This document specifies system requirements and test methods for lane change decision aid systems
(LCDAS). LCDAS are intended to warn the driver of the subject vehicle against potential collisions with
vehicles either to the side or to the rear in the adjacent lanes of the subject vehicle and moving in the same
direction as the subject vehicle for lane change manoeuvres. This document addresses LCDAS for use on
forward-moving cars, vans and straight trucks.
This document does not address LCDAS for use on motorcycles or articulated vehicles such as tractor/trailer
combinations and articulated buses.

4 Classification
4.1 Coverage zone classification
4.1.1 General
LCDAS are classified by the minimum required coverage as shown in Table 1. For example, a type I system
shall provide coverage of at least the left and right adjacent zones.

4.1.2 Type I systems
Type I systems provide the blind spot warning function only. Type I systems are intended to warn the subject
vehicle driver of target vehicles in the adjacent zones. Type I systems are not required to provide warnings

of target vehicles that are approaching the subject vehicle from the rear. The subject vehicle driver shall
be made aware of the limitations of this type of system, at least in the owner’s manual. In particular, the
owner’s manual shall include the following statement: “This system provides support only within a limited
area beside the vehicle. The system will not necessarily provide adequate warning for vehicles approaching
from the rear.”
4.1.3 Type II systems
Type II systems provide the closing vehicle warning function only. These systems are intended to warn the
subject vehicle driver of target vehicles that are approaching the subject vehicle from the rear. Since type II
systems are not required to provide warnings of target vehicles located adjacent to the subject vehicle,
type II systems are recommended for use on vehicles that have side mirrors with a horizontal field of view
of at least 45° on both sides of the vehicle. If type II systems are used on other vehicles, the owner’s manual
should include the following statement: “The driver is required to turn and look into the adjacent area
before attempting a lane change.” The subject vehicle driver shall be made aware of the limitations of this
type of system, at least in the owner’s manual. In particular, the owner’s manual shall include the following
statement: “This system provides no support for the areas adjacent to the subject vehicle. This system will
not necessarily provide adequate warning for very fast moving vehicles approaching from the rear and will
not necessarily not cover the detection of approaching vehicles in all road curvatures.”
4.1.4 Type III systems
Type III systems provide the blind spot warning function and the closing vehicle warning function. Type III
systems are intended to warn the subject vehicle driver of target vehicles in the adjacent zones and target
vehicles which are approaching the subject vehicle from the rear. The subject vehicle driver shall be made
aware of the limitations of this type of system, at least in the owner’s manual. In particular, the owner’s
manual shall include the following statement: “This system will not necessarily provide adequate warning
for very fast moving vehicles approaching from the rear and will not necessarily cover the detection of
approaching vehicles in all road curvatures.”
4.2 Target vehicle closing speed classification
LCDAS of types II and III are classified based on the maximum approaching target vehicle closing speed
shown in Table 2. A system may belong to more than one of the types listed in Table 2. For example, a highly
capable system may meet or exceed the minimum requirements defined individually for types SAV, MAV and
FAV.
Table 2 — Target vehicle closing speed classification
Maximum target vehicle
closing speed
Type
m/s
SAV 10
MAV 15
FAV 20
NOTE The maximum target vehicle closing speed has a direct effect on the required sensor range and/or
acquisition time. A higher closing speed will require a longer sensor range and/or a shorter acquisition time in order
to detect the target vehicle in sufficient time to give the subject vehicle driver adequate warning.
Figure 6 shows the minimum performance of type SAV, MAV and FAV regarding the relative speed between
the subject vehicle and the target vehicle. LCDAS of types II and III can be capable of operating on curved
roads. There is a relationship between the maximum target vehicle closing speed and the roadway radius of
curvature. For a given curve radius and a typical subject vehicle speed, the closing speed of a target vehicle
is limited by driving dynamics parameters. In addition, the visibility of the target vehicle can be limited due
to the curve radii.
The subject vehicle driver shall be made aware of the limitations of the system, at least in the owner’s manual.
In particular, the owner’s manual shall include the following statement: “This system will not necessarily
provide adequate warning on curves."

4.3 Optional target vehicle closing speed classification for road curvature
4.3.1 Overview
In addition to the target vehicle closing speed classification (SAV, MAV or FAV) as shown in Figure 6,
curvature capability provided by LCDAS can also be provided.
An advanced form of LCDAS may use additional sensor input or may integrate additional environmental
information from a map. Such systems can provide the closing vehicle warning function in curvature
situations.
For conformity to this optional classification, roadway curvature shall be related to the expectable maximum
target vehicle closing speed, shown in Table 3.
Types A, B and C represent the relationship between LCDAS types SAV, MAV and FAV in addition to a
minimum roadway curvature:
— type A contains type SAV;
— type B contains type SAV and MAV;
— type C contains type SAV, MAV and FAV.

4.3.2 Type A systems
Figure 7 shows the minimum required region of performance with regard to roadway radius of curvature
and target vehicle closing speed for a type A system. Type A systems can be capable of operating on curved
roads with smaller radii. The subject vehicle driver shall be made aware of the limitations of the system, at
least in the owner’s manual. In particular, the owner’s manual shall include the following statement: “This
system will not necessarily provide adequate warning on curves tighter than [X] metres radius,” where X is
replaced by the tightest curve radius for which the system is designed but not more than 125 m.

roads with smaller radii. The subject vehicle driver shall be made aware of the limitations of the system, at
least in the owner’s manual. In particular, the owner’s manual shall include the following statement: “This
system will not necessarily provide adequate warning on curves tighter than [X] metres radius” where X is

roads with smaller radii. The subject vehicle driver shall be made aware of the limitations of the system, at
least in the owner’s manual. In particular, the owner’s manual shall include the following statement: “This
system will not necessarily provide adequate warning on curves tighter than [X] metres radius” where X is

5 Functional requirements
5.1 LCDAS state diagram
5.1.1 General
At a minimum, the LCDAS shall operate according to the state diagram in Figure 10.
Figure 10 — LCDAS state diagram
5.1.2 LCDAS inactive state
In the LCDAS inactive state the system shall give no warnings to the driver. This state may be a power off
state or a ready state. In a ready state the system can detect target vehicles, but shall not issue warnings
because the activation criteria are not met.
5.1.3 Activation criteria
5.1.3.1 General
When activated, the LCDAS shall transition from the LCDAS inactive state to the LCDAS active state. Several
activation criteria may be used at the same time. Potential activation criteria include but are not limited to
those described in the following subclauses.
5.1.3.2 Continuous activation
The system may be active continuously (whenever the subject vehicle’s ignition is on).
5.1.3.3 Manual switch activation
The system may be activated manually, e.g. by a toggle switch, a tip switch or a menu-based user interface.
5.1.3.4 Turn signal activation
The system may be activated based on the subject vehicle turn signal status. For instance, if the left turn
signal is on, the system may be activated on the left side of the subject vehicle, while remaining inactive on
the right side of the subject vehicle.

5.1.3.5 Subject vehicle speed activation
The system may be activated based on the subject vehicle speed. If this is the case, then when the subject
vehicle speed is greater than or equal to a certain threshold speed the system will transition to the LCDAS
active state. The threshold speed shall be not more than 16,7 m/s (60 km/h).
For blind spot warning function, the threshold speed should be no more than 8,3 m/s (30 km/h) to cover
urban traffic situations.
5.1.4 LCDAS active state
5.1.4.1 General
In the LCDAS active state the system shall detect target vehicles.
5.1.4.2 Non-warning state
In the non-warning state, the system is active, but the warning requirements are not fulfilled.
5.1.4.3 Warning state
5.1.4.3.1 General
In the warning state the system is active, and the warning requirements are fulfilled.
5.1.4.3.2 Warning level 1 state
In the warning level 1 state the warning requirements are fulfilled but no evaluation criteria are met.
The warning given to the driver in this state shall be a cautionary warning, which is less urgent than the
warnings given in warning level 2 and any subsequent warning levels.
5.1.4.3.3 Evaluation criteria
5.1.4.3.3.1 General
Evaluation criteria are certain parameters that an LCDAS may monitor. Evaluation criteria should be useful
in determining the driver’s intention for changing the lane of travel. If one or more of these evaluation
criteria are met, then the system may transition from the warning level 1 state to warning level 2 and above.
Several evaluation criteria may be used at the same time. Potential evaluation criteria include but are not
limited to those described in the following subclauses.
5.1.4.3.3.2 Turn signal evaluation
The system may evaluate the subject vehicle turn signal status. For instance, if the left turn signal is on, the
system may transition to warning level 2 or higher on the left side of the subject vehicle, while not affecting
the right side of the subject vehicle.
5.1.4.3.3.3 Subject vehicle steering input evaluation
The system may evaluate the steering input by the subject vehicle driver. If, for instance, the system
determines that the driver is initiating a lane change to the left, the system may transition to warning level 2
or higher on the left side of the subject vehicle, while not affecting the right side of the subject vehicle.
5.1.4.3.3.4 Subject vehicle lane position evaluation
The system may evaluate the subject vehicle’s position and/or lateral motion within its lane. If, for instance,
the system determines that the subject vehicle is moving toward or into the lane to the left, the system may

transition to warning level 2 or higher on the left side of the subject vehicle, while not affecting the right side
of the subject vehicle.
5.1.4.3.3.5 Lateral clearance evaluation
The system may evaluate the lateral clearance to a target vehicle. If the system has the ability to measure
lateral clearance, then when the lateral clearance is less than a preset threshold value, the system may
transition to warning level 2 or higher.
5.1.4.3.4 Warning level 2 and above
Warning level 2 and above are optional states. In these states the warning requirements are fulfilled, and
one or more evaluation criteria are met. The warnings given to the driver in these states shall be imminent
warnings that are more urgent than the warning given in the warning level 1 state.
5.2 System performance
