Abstract
The disclosure includes embodiments for transforming anomalous behavior into model behavior to mitigate the anomalous behavior. In some embodiments, a method includes analyzing sensor data to identify an occurrence of anomalous behavior in a roadway environment. The method includes determining a model behavior which is non-anomalous. The method includes determining a number of vehicles that is optimal to transform anomalous behavior into the model behavior. The method includes forming a vehicular micro cloud which complies with the number of vehicles that is optimal. The formation of the vehicular micro cloud is triggered by the identification of the anomalous behavior. The method includes providing individualized control messages on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis to members of the vehicular micro cloud. The control messages include digital data which instructs the members on how to behave in order to transform the anomalous behavior into the model behavior.
