1. A method comprising:

  • identifying, using a processor, a merge aperture;

    receiving, over a network, merging vehicle parameters for a merging vehicle approaching the merge aperture;

    performing, using the processor, a plurality of simulations of traffic moving through the merge aperture based on the received merging vehicle parameters, the plurality of simulations yielding an average speed and a travel time for vehicles traveling through the merge aperture based on varying simulated driving patterns of the vehicles;

    optimizing, using the processor, a merge distance for the merging vehicle based on the plurality of simulations; and

    generating, using the processor, a merge notification for the merging vehicle based on the merge distance.
