1. A computing system comprising:
a network communication interface;
one or more processors;
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing system to:
compute a timing interval between high-capacity vehicles (HCVs) for each of a plurality of HCV corridors within a geographic region, each respective HCV corridor of the plurality of HCV corridors including a start area; and
for each respective HCV corridor, transmit, via the network communication interface, (i) first data to a first computing device associated with a first HCV, the first data indicating the start area of the respective HCV corridor, and a first start time for the first HCV, and (ii) second data to a second computing device associated with a second HCV, the second data indicating the start area of the respective HCV corridor and a second start time for the second HCV, wherein the first start time for the first HCV and the second start time for the second HCV are based on the computed timing interval for the respective HCV corridor.
