## Abstract

An example operation includes one or more of determining, via a server, a dangerous area on a route of a transport, wherein the dangerous area is based on a new condition of an area, sending a notification to the transport, via the server, of the dangerous area and the new condition and performing, via the transport, at least one atypical action to traverse the dangerous area until a resolution of the new condition occurs, wherein the atypical action comprises one or more movements that do not typically occur on or around the dangerous area.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method, comprising:
determining, via a spatial location sensor of a transport that is currently moving, a route of the transport based on spatial data captured by the spatial location sensor of the transport;
receiving, via a network interface of the transport, a notification from one or more of a remote server and another transport;
determining, via a processor of the transport, a dangerous area exists on the route of the transport based on the received notification; and
displaying, via a user interface of the transport, an image of the dangerous area and instructions with the image which include at least one atypical action to traverse the dangerous area, wherein the atypical action comprises intermittent movements.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, comprising transmitting, via the transport, information regarding the dangerous area to another transport via the network interface of the transport.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the dangerous area is detected by one or more preceding vehicles traveling through the dangerous area.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, wherein the receiving comprises receiving the notification from the remote server, where the one or more preceding vehicles transmit information related to the dangerous area to the remote server.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the method further comprises outputting, via the processor of the transport, at least one of an audible signal to a user of the transport, a visual signal to the user of the transport, and an electrical signal to the transport.

### Claim 6

A system of a transport, the system comprising:
a position system operatively coupled to the transport that determines a route of the transport based on spatial data captured by a spatial location sensor;
a transceiver operatively coupled to the transport that receives a notification from one or more of a remote server and another transport; and
a processor operatively coupled to the transport that determines a dangerous area exists on the route of the transport based on the received notification, and display, via a user interface of the transport, an image of the dangerous area and instructions with the image which include at least one atypical action to traverse the dangerous area, wherein the atypical action comprises intermittent movements.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The system of claim 6, wherein information about the dangerous area is transmitted via the transceiver to another transport via the network interface of the transport.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)

The system of claim 6, wherein the dangerous area is detected by one or more preceding vehicles that have traveled through the dangerous area.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The system of claim 8, wherein the one or more preceding vehicles transmit information related to the dangerous area to the transport.

### Claim 10 (depends on 6)

The system of claim 6, wherein the notification is provided via at least one of an audible signal to a user of the transport, a visual signal to the user of the transport, and an electrical signal to the transport.

### Claim 11

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, that when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform:
determining, via a spatial location sensor of a transport that is currently moving, a route of the transport based on spatial data captured by the spatial location sensor of the transport;
receiving, via a network interface of the transport, a notification from one or more of a remote server and another transport;
determining, via a processor of the transport, a dangerous area exists on the route of the transport based on the received notification; and
displaying, via a user interface of the transport, an image of the dangerous area and instructions with the image which include at least one atypical action to traverse the dangerous area, wherein the atypical action comprises intermittent movements.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11, comprising, transmitting, via the transport, information regarding the dangerous area to another transport via the network interface of the transport.

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11, wherein the dangerous area is detected by one or more preceding vehicles traveling through the dangerous area.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13, wherein the receiving comprises receiving the notification from the remote server, where the one or more preceding vehicles transmit information related to the dangerous area to the remote server.

### Claim 15 (depends on 11)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11, wherein the notification is provided via at least one of an audible signal to a user of the transport, a visual signal to the user of the transport, and an electrical signal to the transport.
