Abstract: In an approach to collaborative accident prevention, that a first vehicle is approaching an intersection is detected. A first vehicle information vector is broadcast from the first vehicle, where the first vehicle information vector contains at least a first vehicle speed, a first vehicle position, and a first vehicle direction. Responsive to receiving a second vehicle information vector from a second vehicle, an optimal order to cross the intersection is calculated based on the first vehicle information vector and the second vehicle information vector. A first adjusted vehicle speed is signaled to the first vehicle and a second adjusted vehicle speed is signaled to the second vehicle based on the optimal order to cross the intersection.

Abstract: In a method for calculating a location of a traffic incident a processor receives a first alarm message. The alarm message has a device identification, an event time stamp indicating detection of an incident, and a first distance vector. The processor calculates first isodistance information from the first distance vector and receives a second alarm message that has the device identification, the event time stamp, and a second distance vector. The processor calculates a second isodistance information for the second alarm message, and calculates a location of the incident based on the first isodistance information and the second isodistance information.
