A lane-change system (10) suitable for use on an automated vehicle includes a camera (16), a location-device (22), and a controller (30). The camera (16) is used to capture an image (18) of a roadway (20) traveled by a host-vehicle (12). The location-device (22) is used to determine a location (24) of the host-vehicle (12) on a digital-map (26). The digital-map (26) includes a lane-count (28) of the roadway (20) traveled by a host-vehicle (12). The controller (30) is in communication with the camera (16) and the location-device (22). The controller (30) is configured to determine a classification (32) of a lane-marking (44) present in the image (18) as one of a dashed-line (34) and a solid-line (36), and determine a position (38) of an alternate-lane (40), said alternate-lane (40) characterized as adjacent to a present-lane (42) traveled by the host-vehicle (12) and available for travel by the host-vehicle (12), wherein the position (38) is determined based on the lane-count (28) and the classification (32).
