Abstract
A method of operation of a navigation system includes: determining a buffer distance meeting or exceeding a size threshold between obstacle locations; determining a merge timing based on a current location relative to the buffer distance; determining a lane placement based on a travel time meeting or exceeding a time threshold; and executing a lane merge operation with a control unit based on the merge timing, the lane placement, or a combination thereof for guiding a user's vehicle to merge onto a lane different from currently traveled.
