There's a couple of ways you can do this. The easiest method is to just call that function:

var Chkinput = document.getElementById(laneFilter);

Chkinput .onchange();

If you need it to simulate the real event in full, or if you set the event via the html attribute or addEventListener/attachEvent, you need to do a bit of feature detection to correctly fire the event:

if (createEvent in document) {

    var evt = document.createEvent(HTMLEvents);

    evt.initEvent(change, false, true);

    element.dispatchEvent(evt);

}
