    Abstract: A method is provided for identifying and indexing lanes of an intersection. Methods may include: determining a directionality for one or more lanes for each of two or more roadways proximate an intersection, where directionality is one of toward the intersection or away from the intersection; determining a bearing for each lane of the two or more roadways proximate the intersection, where the bearing includes a compass heading informed by the directionality; determining a lane position for each lane of the two or more roadways proximate the intersection; generating an order of the lanes using a hierarchy, where the hierarchy considers directionality first, bearing second, and lane position third; causing the generated order of the lanes to be stored in a memory, where the order of the lanes is associated with the intersection; and managing signal phase and timing of the intersection using the generated order of the lanes.

    Abstract: One or more potential drone and/or flying car (DFC) corridors are identified based on the topology of a road network. Trajectories traveled by vehicles are determined from a plurality of instances of probe data received from a plurality of vehicle apparatuses onboard the vehicles. A volume of traffic for a path through the road network and corresponding to a potential DFC corridor is determined based on the trajectories. A delay metric for the path through the road network and corresponding to the potential DFC corridor is determined based on the trajectories. A traffic metric is then determined for the path based on a combination of the volume of traffic, the delay metric and a measure of the topology of the road network. The one or more potential DFC corridors are ranked by their corresponding traffic metrics.
