SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VEHICULAR NAVIGATION AT TRAFFIC SIGNALS

A vehicle is provided. The vehicle includes a plurality of sensors. The vehicle also includes a vehicle controller. The vehicle controller is programmed to (i) detect a first traffic signal in a direction of travel of the vehicle based on the first plurality of sensor information, where the direction of travel includes a left turn at a traffic signal; (ii) determine a status of the first traffic signal based on the first plurality of sensor information; (iii) determine a first timing for the left turn at the first traffic signal based on the status of the first traffic signal; (iv) determine a second timing for the left turn at a second traffic signal, wherein the second traffic signal is subsequent to the first traffic signal; (v) compare the first timing with the second timing to determine a preferred route; and (vi) present the preferred route.
