This paper discusses lane assignment on automated highway systems (AHS) done to balance excess lane capacities The lane assignment is formulated as a constrained optimization problem with the performance criterion being the balanced use of lanes. The optimization is done within the space of partitioned strategies. An algorithm for determining an optimal or suboptimal partitioned strategy is developed. The features of the developed algorithm are illustrated on an example of an AHS with 20 entry/exit points.
