Abstract

A computer system comprising a processor device configured to select a candidate path for a first vehicle to travel is provided. The processor device is further configured to obtain, from at least one temperature sensor, heat sensor data indicative of heat distributed on a road surface of a road located ahead of the first vehicle in a driving direction of the first vehicle. The processor device is further configured to, based on the heat distributed on the road surface, identify at least one first path travelled by at least one second vehicle. The processor device is further configured to select a candidate path for the first vehicle to travel. The candidate path is selected out of the at least one first path.
