At least one virtual road user is generated, wherein a position of a respective virtual road user of the at least one virtual road user corresponds to a border of a range of a sensor of a host vehicle approaching an intersection of a vehicle transportation network. A most relevant virtual road user of the at least one virtual road user is determined, the most relevant virtual road user being associated with an earliest crossing lane of the intersection from a perspective of the host vehicle. A time to contact for the most relevant virtual road user is determined, wherein the time to contact is based on an acceleration of the host vehicle, a predicted trajectory of the most relevant virtual road user, and a relative distance between the host vehicle and the most relevant virtual road user. A target speed for the host vehicle is determined based on the time to contact and the relative distance. The host vehicle is operated using the target speed as input to a control system of the host vehicle.
