US 11,706,586 B2 · Using geofencing areas to improve road safety use cases in a V2X communication environment

Abstract

Techniques are described herein for improving road safety use cases in a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication environment. The techniques include assigning of a plurality of calculated/precalculated geofencing areas on a projected path of a responding emergency vehicle. With the assigned geofencing areas, a remote management network such as a V2X communications server may identify the V2X components (user equipment, traffic lights, vehicle embedded devices, etc.) and send notifications to the identified V2X components in each assigned geofencing area and at different timing periods. The identification of the V2X components and the sending of the notifications at different timing periods improve the traffic awareness between the V2X components in the V2X communication environment.

Dependent claims

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions that upon execution cause one or more processors to perform acts comprising:

receiving a distress location;
receiving a projected path and distance of a responding vehicle-to-everything (V2X) component going to the distress location;
configuring each of a plurality of geofencing areas to have a coverage area that is within a direct communication signal range of the responding V2X component;
mapping the plurality of geofencing areas to the projected path;
receiving a current location of the responding V2X component;
triggering an identification of V2X components in a particular geofencing area when the current location of the responding V2X component is at least a geofencing area away from an edge of the particular geofencing area;
and
sending notifications to identified V2X components in the particular geofencing area.
