Original Abstract Submitted
A method for load distribution on a roadway includes receiving roadway condition information for a portion of a roadway. The method also includes determining a load distribution on the portion of the roadway for current roadway conditions associated with the roadway condition information. In response to determining an action is required with respect to a first vehicle traveling on the portion of the roadway, the method also include determining whether the first vehicle is being operated in manual mode. In response to determining the first vehicle is being operated in manual mode, the method also includes determining guidance for an operator of the first vehicle to perform the action with respect to the load distribution on the portion of the roadway. The method also includes displaying, by the first vehicle, the guidance to the operator of the first vehicle.
