Abstract:
A method for modifying a queue of vehicles. In one embodiment, the method includes at least one computer processor determining respective distance values between a first vehicle and one or more adjacent vehicles within a queue of vehicles. The method further includes determining a threshold distance value that corresponds to a distance required to extract the first vehicle from within the queue of vehicles. The method further includes determining a change of position corresponding to at least one adjacent vehicle to the first vehicle within the queue of vehicles based on the determined respective distance values, wherein the determined change in position moves the at least one adjacent vehicle to a distance value from the first vehicle that exceed the threshold distance value. The method further includes transmitting respective requests to the at least one adjacent vehicle to move to the determined change of position.
