Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
controlling an ego vehicle traveling in a first lane, wherein the first lane comprises a lane of travel for the ego vehicle of a multilane roadway including at least the first lane and a second lane;
capturing object ranges by the ego vehicle using at least a first sensor corresponding to a first sensor type;
identifying a first vehicle operating in the second lane from the first sensor;
determining a first velocity of the first vehicle;
generating a first lane flow rate for the second lane from one or more captured object velocities, wherein the first lane flow rate of the second lane is based on at least a traffic density estimation and a weighted average of a plurality of velocities of a plurality of vehicles in the second lane, wherein the plurality of velocities includes the first velocity of the first vehicle;
determining whether to modify an ego vehicle velocity based on the first lane flow rate; and
in response to determining whether to modify the ego vehicle velocity, generating instructions for an ego vehicle velocity.
