Abstract
The present teachings provide for a search and rescue system including a first control module for a first vehicle. The first control module is configured to identify when the first vehicle is in a distressed situation based on inputs received from a vehicle status sensor, and generate an emergency message including information regarding the distressed situation. A first transmitter for the first vehicle transmits the emergency message by way of a first antenna. A first receiver for the first vehicle receives a second basic safety message from a second vehicle. A battery powers the first transmitter and the first receiver. A battery management module is configured to measure a charge level of the battery and notify the first control module of the charge level of the battery.
