A server can assist connected vehicles merging from a ramp onto a main lane. A connected vehicle can be configured to communicate with the server. Connected vehicles on the main lane and connected vehicles on the ramp can send their locations and speeds to the server. The server can determine when at least one connected vehicle is within a geo-fence surrounding a merging point, where the main lane and the ramp meet. The server can determine an order in which the connected vehicles on the main lane and on the ramp can merge based on the connected vehicles' locations and speeds. The server can determine an advisory speed for at least one of the connected vehicles based on the order. The server can send the advisory speed to the at least one connected vehicle.
