This International Standard specifies system requirements and test methods for Lane Change Decision Aid Systems (LCDAS). LCDAS are fundamentally intended to warn the driver of the subject vehicle against potential collisions with vehicles to the side and/or to the rear of the subject vehicle, and moving in the same direction as the subject vehicle during lane change manoeuvres. This standardization addresses LCDAS for use on forward moving cars, vans and straight trucks in highway situations.

This standardization does not address LCDAS for use on motorcycles or articulated vehicles such as tractor/trailer combinations and articulated buses.
