Claim 13:
14. A server for controlling a relation between a vehicle and a traffic flow over a road segment, comprising:
a processor configured to:
receive telemetric data from the vehicle, the telemetric data being related to the road segment being traversed by the vehicle;
determine a property of the road segment based on the telemetric data and a road profile for the road segment;
determine a disruption score indicative of a level of disruption in the traffic flow for the road segment based on the property, a travel speed uncertainty and a pedal usage uncertainty, wherein the travel speed uncertainty is defined by E[v]=−Σ(pvi×ln(pvi)), where Pvi is a probability associated with a given velocity vi, and wherein the pedal usage uncertainty is defined by E[dv]=−Σ(pdvi×ln(pdvi)), where Pdvi is a probably associated with a given deceleration or acceleration dv; and
output a notification signal when the disruption score is above a selected disruption threshold, the notification signal usable for controlling the relation between the vehicle and the traffic flow.
