Overtaking is a complicated maneuver that has implications for the operation and safety of road users on two-lane undivided roads. Understanding the factors influencing the overtaking behavior and process of human drivers becomes essential in the wake of developments in driver awareness, vehicular capabilities, and roadway design. This review classifies the factors which govern the overtaking process of drivers into five categories: vehicle, road, traffic, environment, and driver. Post classification, the effect of each factor based on empirical evidence is discussed on the overtaking behavior of drivers. Based on the analysis, a potential framework is suggested to understand the overtaking process better. Furthermore, future research directions are discussed in the context of modeling approaches, generalizability, connected and automated vehicles, and data collection efforts.
