Original Abstract Submitted
To control a vehicle to reduce traffic on a road segment, a computing device obtains an indication of a location of a vehicle on a road segment traveling to a destination. The computing device identifies a cluster of vehicles including the vehicle on the road segment and respective positions of the vehicles in the cluster. Then the computing device identifies a particular speed or a particular lane for the vehicle which minimizes an estimated time of arrival (ETA) at the destination based on the respective positions of the vehicles in the cluster, and determines a delay in the ETA if the vehicle continues to proceed in its current manner. The computing device provides an indication of the particular speed or the particular lane for the vehicle which minimizes the ETA, and an indication of the delay in the ETA if the vehicle continues to proceed in its current manner.
