A traffic management system that assigns vehicles to lanes of a multi-lane road based on a measured driver comfort level (DCL) factor associated with each vehicle that reflects how comfortable the vehicle's driver is with shorter following distances at high speeds. An illustrative DCL may be defined as the square of the vehicle's velocity divided by the inter-vehicle spacing. By preventing high DCL drivers from mixing with low DCL drivers on the same lane, the system improves traffic flow and stability and reduces the likelihood of traffic jams. The system may obtain vehicle velocity and following distance data from vehicle sensors and use this data to calculate a vehicle's DCL. When a vehicle enters a roadway managed by the system, the system obtains the vehicle's DCL and transmit a message to the vehicle's navigation system to guide the vehicle to the desired lane.
