A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a first transport, a notification from a traffic signal, at an end of a period of time of non-movement by the first transport, based on an action of a second transport.
A transport, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory, coupled to the processor, comprising instructions that when executed by the processor are configured to:
- receive, by a first transport, an indication from a traffic signal that the first transport is legally able to move from a stopped disposition;
- elapse a period of time between the first transport receives the indication and the first transport did not move during the period of time;
- and
- receive a notification at the end of the period of time, by the first transport, that the first transport ought to move, wherein the notification is received after the period of time from an automated action of a second transport.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, that when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform:
- receiving, by a first transport, an indication from a traffic signal that the first transport is legally able to move from a stopped disposition;
- elapsing a period of time between receiving the indication and the first transport not moving during the period of time;
