Abstract
A control system for controlling generation of a steering overlay signal to control a trajectory of a host vehicle can include one or more controllers and is configured to identify a lateral boundary of the host-vehicle lane of travel. The control system monitors a position of the host vehicle in relation to the lateral boundary of the host-vehicle lane of travel. A lateral velocity of the host vehicle is determined by the control system. The steering overlay signal is generated based on a determination that the host vehicle is approaching or traversing the lateral boundary of the host-vehicle lane of travel and that the determined lateral velocity is greater than or equal to a first lateral velocity threshold. The control system can determine a lateral separation between the host vehicle and an object.
