Abstract
A method includes using sensors to collect information about vehicles on a road and determining a plurality of crash probabilities based on the collected information. Each crash probability indicates a probability of a vehicular crash on the road at a respective point in time. The plurality of crash probabilities is averaged to form an average crash probability and the average crash probability is used to determine when to provide a message to a controller of a vehicle.
