Methods, systems and computer readable media are provided for traffic management between a first vehicle and a second vehicle. A navigation system of the second vehicle may receive position and route information describing a route that the first vehicle is projected to follow. The navigation system of the second vehicle may determine a geographical area, wherein the geographical area encompasses locations determined to be reachable by the second vehicle within a specified time interval. The navigation system of the second vehicle may generate a warning when the route of the first vehicle and the geographical area of the second vehicle intersect with each other.

Dynamic predictive systems for vehicle traffic management

A method, computer system, and a computer program product for synchronizing a plurality of nodes is provided. The present invention may include receiving a synchronization request from a first node. The present invention may include sending an invitee request to a second node. The present invention may then include receiving node data and constraints. The present invention may include generating valid actions based on the node data and the constraints. The present invention may include determining a projected arrival time for each node based on the node data. The present invention may include determining a late node based on the projected arrival time of the late node exceeding a threshold time. The present invention may include determining a corrective action associated with the late node based on the projected arrival time and the valid actions. The present invention may include sending the corrective action to the late node.

Synchronizing nodes at a meeting point

A method for providing on-demand wireless signals. The method includes activating a wireless connectivity feature of a wireless transmission device. The wireless transmission device then determines that no wireless devices within range of the wireless transmission device are connected to or attempting to connect to a computer network using the wireless connectivity feature of the wireless transmission device. Upon determining that no wireless devices within range of the wireless transmission device are connected to or attempting to connect to the network using the wireless connectivity feature of the wireless transmission device, the wireless transmission device then deactivates the wireless connectivity feature of the wireless transmission device.

On-demand wireless signal

A method, system or computer usable program product for a wireless unit of a first vehicle detecting and locating other nearby vehicles including emitting a first short range wireless signal with the first wireless unit, the first wireless signal including a first unique identifier and a first location of the first vehicle, detecting a second short range wireless signal of a second wireless unit of a second vehicle without the first wireless unit establishing a connection with the second wireless unit, the second wireless signal including a second unique identifier and a second location of the second vehicle, and computing a relative location of the second vehicle from the second wireless signal.
