Autonomous Overtaking in Mixed Traffic Environments Using Model Predictive Control

Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of overtaking in autonomous vehicles using Model Predictive Control in mixed traffic scenarios in which an autonomous vehicle is overtaking a human driven vehicle. The proposed framework eliminates the need for a separate motion planner by integrating new decision-making processes and passenger comfort criteria specifically tailored for overtaking. A comprehensive analysis of potential overtaking scenarios is performed and simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
