1. A system comprising:
a controller structured to:
receive at least one overtake parameter associated with a control vehicle for overtaking a front vehicle in a vehicle lane, the at least one overtake parameter comprising a number of rear vehicles traveling in an overtake lane behind the control vehicle within a rear distance horizon;
receive an indication of a direction of traffic in the overtake lane that is adjacent to the vehicle lane;
receive an indication that the at least one overtake parameter satisfies at least one condition according to the direction of the traffic in the overtake lane, the at least one overtake parameter comprising the number of rear vehicles traveling in the overtake lane behind the control vehicle within the rear distance horizon, and the at least one condition comprising a predefined threshold number of rear vehicles; and
in response to the number of rear vehicles being less than the predefined threshold number of rear vehicles, execute an overtake maneuver by adjusting at least one parameter of the control vehicle or providing a command to an operator of the control vehicle to execute the overtake maneuver.
