Figure 48 shows the initial vehicle positions in the SimpleOvertake.xosc example. Vehicle 2 and Vehicle 1 are located on the same lane on SampleDatabase.xodr 58 meters apart, with Vehicle 2 being in front of Vehicle 1. Vehicle 1, having the larger speed, catches up with Vehicle 2 , and needs to change to the left lane. After some time, when it has overtaken Vehicle 2, it moves back to its previous lane, ending in front of Vehicle 2.
