Abstract
Among other things, an equipment for use on board a first ground transportation entity has (a) a receiver for information generated by a sensor of the environment of the first ground transportation entity, (b) a processor, and (c) a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to generate and send safety message information to a second ground transportation entity based on the information generated by the sensor.
Claims18
An apparatus comprising:
- an equipment on board a first ground transportation entity, the equipment having
- (a) a receiver configured to receive position correction information sent from a source external to the first ground transportation entity, the position correction information providing an accuracy enhancement for determination of a position of the first ground transportation entity,
- (b) at least one processor, and
- (c) a memory storing instructions executable by the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- generating a position correction message based at least on the position correction information, the position correction message being configured to be used by a second ground transportation entity to enhance an accuracy of determination of a position of the second ground transportation entity by the second ground transportation entity;
- and
- transmitting the position correction message to the second ground transportation entity,
- wherein the source comprises roadside equipment, and
- wherein, when the position correction message is transmitted to the second ground transportation entity, the second ground transportation entity is out of a range of the roadside equipment.

A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a receiver on board a first ground transportation entity, position correction information sent from a source external to the first ground transportation entity, the position correction information providing an accuracy enhancement for determination of a position of the first ground transportation entity;
- generating, by equipment on board the first ground transportation entity, a position correction message based at least on the position correction information, the position correction message being configured to be used by a second ground transportation entity to enhance an accuracy of determination of a position of the second ground transportation entity by the second ground transportation entity;
- and
- transmitting the position correction message to the second ground transportation entity,
- wherein the source comprises roadside equipment, and
- wherein, when the position correction message is transmitted to the second ground transportation entity, the second ground transportation entity is out of a range of the roadside equipment.
