Abstract
To select a lane in a multi-lane road segment for a vehicle travelling on the road segment, a system identifies, in multiple lanes and in a region ahead of the vehicle, another vehicle defining a target; the system applies an optical flow technique to track the target during a period of time, to generate an estimate of how fast traffic moves; and the system applies the estimate to machine learning (ML) model to generate a recommendation which one of the plurality of lanes the vehicle is to choose.
