US Patent 9784587 Policy-based convergence point recommendations for convoys

A method includes applying a correlation rule defining a correlation relationship between a first and second object and determining, using a processor, whether a first motion vector of the first object is correlated at a threshold level of correlation with a second motion vector of the second object, the correlation relationship between the first and second objects identifying the threshold level of correlation between the first and second motion vectors. The method also includes, in response to determining that the first motion vector is not correlated at the threshold level with the second motion vector, determining a convergence point for the first and second objects in accordance with a policy. The method further includes transmitting instructions for arriving at the convergence point to the first and second objects.
