Automated lane assignment for vehicles

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising program code, the program code configured to be executable by a processor and to cause the processor to:

• access, by a lane assignment server, vehicle information of a plurality of vehicles, wherein the plurality of vehicles are capable of operating in multiple driving modes, the vehicle information including, for a first vehicle and a second vehicle of the plurality of vehicles, a driving mode, comprising an autonomous driving mode, a semi-autonomous driving mode, or a manual driving mode;
• access, by the lane assignment server, lane information associated with a road, the lane information comprising information corresponding to at least two lanes of travel in a first direction on the road;
• determine, by the lane assignment server, a first driving mode of the first vehicle and a second driving mode of the second vehicle,
• assign, by the lane assignment server, the first and second vehicles to a first lane of travel responsive to a determination that the first and second driving modes are the same driving mode;
• and
• assign, by the lane assignment server, the first vehicle to a first lane of travel and the second vehicle to a second lane of travel different than the first lane of travel responsive to a determination that the first driving mode being the manual driving mode and the second driving mode being the autonomous driving mode or the semi-autonomous driving mode.

A lane assignment system comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable medium;
• and
• a processor in communication with the non-transitory computer-readable medium and configured to execute program code stored in the non-transitory computer readable medium to:
• access vehicle information of a plurality of vehicles, wherein the plurality of vehicles are capable of operating in multiple driving modes, the vehicle information including, the vehicle information including, for a first vehicle and a second vehicle of the plurality of vehicles, a driving mode, comprising an autonomous driving mode, a semi-autonomous driving mode, or a manual driving mode;
• access lane information associated with a road, the lane information comprising information corresponding to at least two lanes of travel in a first direction on the road;
• determine a first driving mode of the first vehicle and a second driving mode of the second vehicle,
• assign the first and second vehicles to a first lane of travel responsive to a determination that the first and second driving modes are the same driving mode;
• and
• assign the first vehicle to a first lane of travel and the second vehicle to a second lane of travel different than the first lane of travel responsive to a determination that the first driving mode being the manual driving mode and the second driving mode being the autonomous driving mode or the semi-autonomous driving mode.

A system for dynamic vehicle lane assignment for a vehicle, comprising:

• means for accessing, by a lane assignment server, vehicle information of a plurality of vehicles, wherein the plurality of vehicles are capable of operating in multiple driving modes, the vehicle information including, the vehicle information including, for a first vehicle and a second vehicle of the plurality of vehicles, a driving mode, comprising an autonomous driving mode, a semi-autonomous driving mode, or a manual driving mode;
• means for accessing, by a lane assignment server, lane information associated with a road, the lane information comprising information corresponding to at least two lanes of travel in a first direction on the road;
• means for determining, by a lane assignment server, a first driving mode of the first vehicle and a second driving mode of the second vehicle,
• means for assigning, by a lane assignment server, the first and second vehicles to a first lane of travel responsive to a determination that the first and second driving modes are the same driving mode;
• and
• means for assigning, by a lane assignment server, the first vehicle to a first lane of travel and the second vehicle to a second lane of travel different than the first lane of travel responsive to a determination that the first driving mode being the manual driving mode and the second driving mode being the autonomous driving mode or the semi-autonomous driving mode.
