Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for detecting when a vehicle engages in anomalous driving behavior and managing nearby vehicles to mitigate risk to the nearby vehicles due to the anomalous driving behavior. According to some embodiments, the methods and systems comprise receiving an indication that an anomalous driving behavior of a first vehicle is detected, and identifying a plurality of vehicles within a geographic area of the first vehicle based on receiving the indication. The methods and systems further include generating an arrangement for the plurality of vehicles based on the detected anomalous driving behavior, determining a target speed for each of the plurality of vehicles based on the determined arrangement and a current speed of each of the plurality of vehicles, and communicating control messages to each of the plurality of vehicles. The control messages comprising the target speed to distribute the plurality of vehicles into the determined arrangement.
