I am working on simulation model of overtaking maneuver and I found some studies of this, but all of them are in specified conditions, not in real traffic. I try to find as real model as possible. So I would appreciate every bit of information.
Are you interested in traffic on so-called super highways (divided limited access?) or smaller roads where the passing lane involves crossing the center line? I have a suggestion -- look up transport research (e.g. the Transport Research Board) site. Another idea is that many segments of highway are monitored with video for various purposes. If you could get some examples of that and watch for a few hours you would probably see examples of unsafe / dangerous "tail gating," brake-checking, unsignaled lane changes, and many other high risk behavior. I would be quite interested to know if you can put those behaviors into a simulation.
TRG here at Southampton have undertaken studies in live traffic using scanning radar, suggest you contact nbh soton ac uk

Robert Mayr: Regelungsstrategien für die automatische Fahrzeugführung. Springer 2001 presents detailed description of overtaking process dynamics. It may help you with development of a simulation model (we have worked on a similar model with our students some years ago).
Thank you for your answers. Some of the works I knew before and I will try to look at the other ones. Meanwhile I found the most fitting answer in the old research by Troutbeck, R.J. from year 1981. Overtaking behaviour on Australian two.lane rural highways
These are all excellent answers -- I appreciate all the experts too. I also like that you reported back with your finding.
I am working on developing an overtaking assisting system on two lane roads and as I understood of your question, the researcher Geertje Hegeman used an instrumented vehicle in her work which is titles as "Assisted Overtaking An Assessment of Overtaking on Two-lane Rural Roads" (available online).
As well as, you can review this thesis to find what has been done by other researchers and might be useful for you.
Sorry if my answer is late because I have joint ResearchGate before a minutes.
Thank you Sadir, I already finished the study. Finally I used physical relationship with the reaction time and the ability to brake the vehicle. It was a solution at hand, safe and acceptable for my purposes.
