329. Ego Forced Merge Behind NPC evaluation scenario

In the ego_forced_merge_behind_npc evaluation scenario, the Ego merges from the merging lane into the vehicle's lane, behind the vehicle.

Scenario location: $FTX/logiq/scenario_library/ego_merge/ego_forced_merge_behind_npc

329.1 Actors

The actors associated with this scenario are as follows:

Actor Description Type Depiction
ego Vehicle under test vehicle
vehicle_actor Vehicle actor vehicle
Figure 1: Ego force merge behind NPC

329.2 Scenario phases

The phase descriptions are as follows:

329.2.1 ego_on_merging_lane

Ego: The Ego drives in the merging lane.

329.2.2 ego_merged

Ego: The Ego is forced to merge from the merging lane into the vehicle_actor's lane, positioning behind the vehicle_actor. The Ego is at least distance_from_end_of_merging_lane meters from the end of the merging lane.

vehicle_actor: The vehicle_actor drives ahead of the Ego in the same lane, at a distance no greater than max_time_ahead_of_ego.

329.3 Parameters

Use these parameters to constrain the scenario. If you do not set a specific value, the default value will be used.

Parameter Type Description Default value
max_time_ahead_of_ego time The maximal time ahead of the Ego in headway distance 5sec

The input items inherited from the sut.ego_forced_merge_with_npc scenario are as follows:

Parameter Type Description Default value
end_phase_duration time
Maximal time of the end phase duration after the merge. No default value
distance_from_end_of_merging_lane length
Offset from the end of the merging lane (negative value means distance after the end of the merging lane). No default value
