Abstract

See full text

Disclosed are systems, mediums, and methods for managing and controlling travel for a convoy of vehicles. A traffic control system includes a traffic control device that receives one or more signals indicating two or more vehicles proximate to a location. The traffic control device determines a convoy based at least on the one or more signals, where the convoy includes the two or more vehicles proximate to the location. The traffic control device determines traffic-signal data based at least on the convoy, where the traffic-signal data is configured to maintain threshold distances between two or more vehicles in the convoy. The traffic control device transmits the traffic-signal data to a traffic controller configured to select one or more traffic signals, where the one or more traffic signals enable the two or more vehicles to maintain the threshold distances between the two or more vehicles in the convoy.
