Abstract
A system includes a processor configured to determine traffic density over a road segment. The processor is also configured to model traffic parameters to maximize traffic flow over the road segment, based on the traffic density and travel characteristic data received from a plurality of vehicles exiting the road segment. The processor is further configured to determine a speed to density curve, using the model, that would maximize traffic flow and send the speed to density curve to a vehicle entering the road segment.
