1. A method for operating a host vehicle, comprising:

  • receiving remote vehicle information indicating a geospatial state and a kinematic state for a remote vehicle;

    identifying host vehicle information indicating a geospatial state and a kinematic state for the host vehicle;

    determining a converging time to a converging location within a vehicle transportation network based on the remote vehicle information and the host vehicle information;

    identifying a first threshold at which a fixed deceleration of the host vehicle to the converging location is achieved using a reaction delay of an operator of the host vehicle, wherein the first threshold is a step function based on the kinematic state of the host vehicle; and

    modifying operation of the host vehicle responsive to the converging time reaching the first threshold.
