Systems and methods to group and move vehicles cooperatively to mitigate anomalous driving behavior

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to execute steps including:
• analyzing sensor data to identify an aggressive vehicle exhibiting anomalous driving behavior in a roadway environment;
• determining a route management instruction for a plurality of connected vehicles operating in the roadway environment to navigate to a vicinity of the aggressive vehicle;
• determining a geometric driving pattern for the plurality of connected vehicles to form a physical barrier relative to the aggressive vehicle to mitigate the anomalous driving behavior;
• and
• transmitting individualized control messages comprising the route management instruction and the geometric driving pattern to the plurality of connected vehicles, wherein the individualized control messages cause the plurality of connected vehicles to coordinate and drive in the geometric driving pattern to maintain the physical barrier relative to the aggressive vehicle as the aggressive vehicle moves through the roadway environment.

A computer program product including computer code stored on a non-transitory memory, wherein the computer code is operable, when executed by a processor, to cause the processor to execute steps comprising:

• analyzing sensor data to identify an aggressive vehicle exhibiting anomalous driving behavior in a roadway environment;
• determining a route management instruction for a plurality of connected vehicles operating in the roadway environment to navigate to a vicinity of the aggressive vehicle;
• determining a geometric driving pattern for the plurality of connected vehicles to form a physical barrier relative to the aggressive vehicle to mitigate the anomalous driving behavior;
• and
• transmitting individualized control messages comprising the route management instruction and the geometric driving pattern to the plurality of connected vehicles, wherein the individualized control messages cause the plurality of connected vehicles to coordinate and drive in the geometric driving pattern to maintain the physical barrier relative to the aggressive vehicle as the aggressive vehicle moves through the roadway environment.
