With the race towards higher levels of automation in vehicles, it is imperative to guarantee the safety of all involved traffic participants. Yet, while high-risk traffic situations between two vehicles are well understood, traffic situations involving more vehicles lack the tools to be properly analyzed. This paper proposes a method to compare Surrogate Safety Measures values in highway multi-vehicle traffic situations such as lane-changes that involve three vehicles. This method allows for a comprehensive statistical analysis and highlights how the safety distance between vehicles is shifted in favor of the traffic conflict between the leading vehicle and the lane-changing vehicle.
