Abstract
A node for communications in a transportation network comprises a processor, a memory, a communication device, and a set of instructions executable by the processor for: extracting information from a first message, making a first determination based at least in part on the information; and making a second determination as to whether a second message should be sent based on the first determination.
Claims17
A system, comprising:
- a mobile node in a vehicle for communications in a transportation network, the mobile node comprising:
- a first processor;
- a first memory;
- a first communication device configured to send and receive one or more messages;
- and
- a first set of instructions executable by the first processor for:
- a. extracting a location of an event from a first message;
- b. making a first determination by comparing the location of the event to a geographic characteristic of the mobile node;
- and
- c. sending a second message based on the first determination;
- and
- a stationary node for communications in the transportation network, the stationary node comprising:
- a second processor;
- a second memory;
- a second communication device configured to send and receive one or more messages;
- and
- a second set of instructions executable by the second processor for:
- a. receiving the second message;
- b. extracting a location of an event from the second message;
- c. making a second determination at least in part by comparing the location of the event to a geographic characteristic of the stationary node;
- d. making a third determination as to whether a third message should be sent based on the second determination.

A system, comprising:
- a mobile node in a vehicle for communications in a transportation network, the mobile node comprising:
- a first processor;
- a first memory;
- a first communication device configured to send and receive one or more messages;
- and
- a first set of instructions executable by the first processor for:
- a. receiving a first message from said communication device;
- b. making a determination as to whether information extracted from the first message surpasses a predetermined threshold, thereby determining a significance of the first message;
- c. if the information surpasses the threshold, creating a second message;
- d. if the information surpasses the threshold, providing at least one command to a controller in the vehicle to cause the vehicle to perform at least one of altering the vehicle's direction and altering the vehicle's speed;
- and
- sending the second message based on the first determination;
- and
- a stationary node for communications in the transportation network, the stationary node comprising:
- a second processor;
- a second memory;
- a second communication device configured to send and receive one or more messages;
- and
- a second set of instructions executable by the second processor for:
- a. receiving the second message;
- b. extracting a location of an event from the second message;
- c. making a second determination at least in part by comparing the location of the event to a geographic characteristic of the stationary node;
- d. sending a third message based at least in part on the second determination.

A method, comprising:
- receiving a first message in a mobile node;
- extracting a location of an event from the first message;
- making a first determination by comparing the location of the event to a geographic characteristic of the node;
- making a second determination as to whether a second message should be sent based on the first determination;
- based on the first determination, providing at least one command to a controller in the vehicle to cause the vehicle to perform at least one of altering the vehicle's direction and altering the vehicle's speed;
- sending the second message from the mobile node to a stationary node;
- receiving the second message in the stationary node;
- extracting a location of an event from the second message;
- making a second determination at least in part by comparing the location of the event to a geographic characteristic of the stationary node;
- and
- sending a third message based at least in part on the second determination.
