Lane determination based on spatial data from local sources

A computer program product for determining an optimal lane recommendation of a road having a plurality of lanes for a primary vehicle within an optimal guided route to a destination, the computer program product comprising:

• one or more computer-readable, tangible storage devices;
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices, to retrieve local environment data comprising real-time spatial data directly from at least one local source, the at least one local source comprising at least one sensor in an other vehicle;
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices, to determine an optimal recommended lane of the road from the plurality of lanes of the road to minimize travel time for the primary vehicle, based on the directly retrieved environment data from the at least one source within a specific distance from the primary vehicle;
• and
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices, to display the optimal recommended lane of the road for travel of the primary vehicle within the optimal guided route to the destination through an interface to a user.

A system for determining an optimal lane recommendation of a road having a plurality of lanes for a primary vehicle within an optimal guided route to a destination, the system comprising:

• one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories and one or more computer-readable, tangible storage devices;
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, to retrieve local environment data comprising real-time spatial data directly from at least one local source, the at least one local source comprising at least one sensor in an other vehicle;
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, to determine an optimal recommended lane of the road from the plurality of lanes of the road to minimize travel time for the primary vehicle, based on the directly retrieved environment data from the at least one source within a specific distance from the primary vehicle;
• and
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, to display the optimal recommended lane of the road for travel of the primary vehicle within the optimal guided route to the destination through an interface to a user.
