System and method for road side equipment of interest selection for active safety applications

A method for selecting road side equipment for controlling vehicles in a highway or street, said method comprising:

• a central computer receiving a total value which indicates number of road side equipment pieces that a first vehicle is able to receive data from;
• said central computer determining a type of data a first road side equipment piece transmits or supports;
• said central computer receiving a location of said first road side equipment piece from an input device;
• a certification device or module examining security validation of a certificate for said first road side equipment piece;
• said central computer receiving a location of said first vehicle;
• said central computer receiving dynamics information about said first vehicle;
• said central computer receiving a location of a second vehicle near said first vehicle from a location determination device or module;
• said central computer analyzing said total value which indicates number of road side equipment pieces that said first vehicle is able to receive data from, said type of data said first road side equipment piece transmits or supports, said location of said first road side equipment piece, said security validation of said certificate for said first road side equipment piece, said location of said first vehicle, said dynamics information about said first vehicle, and said location of said second vehicle near said first vehicle;
• and
• said central computer selecting said first road side equipment piece based on said analyzing step.
