Operating a host vehicle is described as including identifying remote vehicle information indicating a geospatial state and a kinematic state for a remote vehicle and identifying host vehicle information indicating a geospatial state and a kinematic state for the host vehicle. For a sequence of sampling points, a converging time to a converging location within a transportation network is determined based on the remote vehicle information and the host vehicle information. Operation of the host vehicle is modified to a modified operation responsive to the converging time, having been above a first threshold, falling below the first threshold, and the modified operation of the host vehicle is maintained until the converging time remains above a second threshold higher than the first threshold for a defined number of contiguous sampling points of the sequence. A method, vehicle, and apparatus are described.
