Abstract: Aspects herein are directed to sensor data being received, via one or more sensors coupled to one or more vehicles, based on the one or more vehicles traversing a road in a geographical area. A portion of the sensor data is determined to exceed a threshold. The portion of the sensor data being associated with a segment of the road. Geo-coordinates associated with the segment of the road are detected. Based at least in part on the detecting of the geo-coordinates, a data structure that indicates the segment and the portion of the sensor data exceeding the threshold is populated. An indication that a first vehicle is traversing the road or that traversing the road is part of a route plan for the first vehicle is received. In response to the receiving of the indication, the data structure is derived. A modification of a vehicle operating condition is facilitated based on the segment and the sensor data in the derived data structure.

Abstract: A method for the dissemination of an alert message to a plurality of personal computers using a network communications protocol from a server is disclosed that includes a first step wherein the client contacts the central server and requests the value of said alert ID number in said memory, a second step wherein said server transmits said value to said client, a third step wherein said client compares a stored value at the client with the value of the transmitted alert ID number, and if said transmitted value exceeds said stored value, a fourth step wherein said client transmits a second message to said server and requests for the server to transmit all unread alert messages in a GetUnreadAlerts SOAP request from said server that are specific to said client.

Abstract: This invention provides a method for connecting a mobile computer to a computer network by using an address server. The mobile computer connects itself to a network and requests an address server to represent it on the network. The address server accepts packets intended for the mobile computer and redirects them to the current actual address of the mobile computer. As the mobile computer moves, it reports its new actual address to the address server, so that packets intended for the mobile computer can be redirected to the new actual address.
