A merge behavior system assists a host vehicle positioned in a mainline lane that is adjacent a merge lane. The merge behavior system includes an identification module that identifies at least one proximate vehicle in the merge lane. The merge behavior system also includes a prediction module that selects one or more models based on the at least one proximate vehicle, calculates one or more merge factors corresponding to the one or more models, and predicts a merge location based on the one or more merge factors. The merge behavior system further includes a control module configured to adjust a kinematic parameter of the host vehicle to create a gap at the predicted merge location.
