Abstract
Methods, vehicles and systems for managing vehicle velocity along routes having traffic lights. The behavior of an individual vehicle is adjusted to account for surrounding vehicles to avoid inefficient outcomes across a group of vehicles. A vehicle is configured to determine the presence of other vehicles in a defined following distance, and uses the presence of such other vehicles to adjust its own travel strategy, with or without communication or coordination with, or control over, the other vehicles.
