Lane Change Procedure Sample Clauses
The Lane Change Procedure clause defines the required steps and conditions for safely changing lanes while operating a vehicle. Typically, this involves checking mirrors and blind spots, signaling intentions, and ensuring the adjacent lane is clear before maneuvering. By establishing a standardized process, this clause helps prevent accidents and misunderstandings on the road, thereby promoting safety and clarity among drivers.
Lane Change Procedure. 5.6.4.6.1. The initiation of a lane change procedure of an ACSF of Category C shall only be possible if an ACSF of Category B1 is already active.
5.6.4.6.2. The lane change procedure requires, and shall start immediately after, a manual activation by the driver of the direction indicator to the intended side for the lane change.
5.6.4.6.3. When the lane change procedure starts, the ACSF of Category B1 shall be suspended and the ACSF of Category C shall carry on the lane keeping function of ACSF of category B1, until the lane change manoeuvre starts.
5.6.4.6.4. The lateral movement of the vehicle towards the intended lane shall not start earlier than 1 second after the start of the lane change procedure. Additionally, the lateral movement to approach the lane marking and the lateral movement necessary to complete the lane change manoeuvre, shall be completed as one continuous movement. The lane change manoeuvre shall not be initiated before a period of 3.0 seconds and not later than 5.0 seconds after the deliberate action of the driver described in paragraph 5.6.4.6.2. above.
5.6.4.6.5. The lane change manoeuvre shall be completed in less than:
(a) 5 seconds for M1, N1 vehicle categories;
(b) 10 seconds for ▇▇, ▇▇, ▇▇, ▇▇ vehicle categories.
5.6.4.6.6. Once the lane change manoeuvre has completed, ACSF of Category B1 lane keeping function shall resume automatically.
5.6.4.6.7. The direction indicator shall remain active throughout the whole period of the lane change manoeuvre and shall be deactivated by the system no later than 0.5 seconds after the resumption of ACSF of Category B1 lane keeping function as described in paragraph 5.6.4.6.6. above.

5.6.4.6.2. The lane change procedure requires, and shall start immediately after, a manual activation by the driver of the direction indicator to the intended side for the lane change.
5.6.4.6.3. When the lane change procedure starts, the ACSF of Category B1 shall be suspended and the ACSF of Category C shall carry on the lane keeping function of ACSF of category B1, until the lane change manoeuvre starts.
5.6.4.6.4. The lateral movement of the vehicle towards the intended lane shall not start earlier than 1.0 second after the start of the lane change procedure. Additionally, the lateral movement to approach the lane marking and the lateral movement necessary to complete the lane change manoeuvre, shall be completed as one continuous movement. The lane change manoeuvre shall be initiated either automatically or by a second deliberate action of the driver. A vehicle shall not be equipped with both these means of initiation.
5.6.4.6.4.1. Automatic initiation of the lane change manoeuvre In case of an automatic initiation the lane change manoeuvre shall commence between 3.0 seconds and 5.0 seconds after the manual activation of the procedure as described in paragraph 5.6.4.6.2. and shown in the Figure below.
5.6.4.6.4.2. Initiation of the lane change manoeuvre by a second deliberate action
Lane Change Procedure. Additional specific requirements for regular lane changes The activated system shall only initiate3 a regular lane change if the following conditions are fulfilled:
(a) There is a reason for a lane change (e.g. Operation cannot be continued in the current lane, for the purpose of overtaking a slower moving vehicle, where a lane change is required by national traffic rules).
(b) The target lane is a regular lane of travel, or hard shoulder temporarily opened up as a regular lane of travel.
(c) The LCP is anticipated to be completed before the ALKS vehicle comes to standstill (i.e. in order to avoid coming to standstill while in the middle of two regular lanes due to stopped traffic ahead). In case the ALKS vehicle becomes stationary between two regular lanes during the LCM (e.g. due to the surrounding traffic), it should at the next available opportunity either complete the LCP or return to its original lane.
Lane Change Procedure. Additional specific requirements during an MRM 5.5.7.4. Lane changes during a A MRMLCP shall be made only if under the traffic situation these lane changes can be considered to minimize the risk to safety of the vehicle occupants and other road users.

(c) There is a reason for a lane change (e.g. Operation cannot be continued in the current lane, for the purpose of overtaking a slower moving vehicle, to prevent violation of the obligation to drive in the slowest lane when possible, [or a LCP is being undertaken as part of a MRM as a follow up of a severe failure].
