Abstract
A system for mitigating traffic congestion for a vehicle includes a plurality of vehicle sensors, an automated driving system, and a controller in electrical communication with the plurality of vehicle sensors and the automated driving system. The controller is programmed to determine a traffic signal phase of a traffic signal in an environment surrounding the vehicle using the plurality of vehicle sensors. The traffic signal phase includes one of a red phase and a green phase. The controller is further programmed to activate the automated driving system to drive the vehicle for a predetermined maximum time-period in response to determining that the traffic signal phase is the green phase. The controller is further programmed to disable the automated driving system in response to determining that the predetermined maximum time-period has expired.
