11. A method for advising a driver of a host vehicle of traffic flow rates of the lanes of a traveled road, the method comprising the steps of:
-
determining a position of the host vehicle; receiving position data, speed data, and heading data from remote vehicles in the traveled road; constructing a traffic flow rate for each of the plurality of road lanes of the traveled road based on the position of the host vehicle and the position data, speed data, and heading data of the remote vehicles; and advising the driver of the host vehicle of the traffic flow rates for each of the plurality of road lanes of the traveled road. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
