Abstract: A method and system for managing vehicle traffic is provided in which a request for traffic information of a traffic lane is received. Responsive to the request, a count of a number of vehicles establishing wireless communication links in the traffic lane is determined, such that a wireless communication link is established between at least a consecutive pair of vehicles in the traffic lane. In at least one embodiment, unique information associated with each of the vehicles establishing wireless communication links in the traffic lane is collected. Further, at least one or more of the count of number of vehicles or the unique information associated with each of the vehicle is sent to a control unit that controls traffic signal indicators provided to the vehicles in the traffic lane.
