Abstract
A server may determine a plurality of recommended exit paths for vehicles departing a locality. The server may also correlate a plurality of present geofenced locations within the locality to exit paths, so that each location has one or more exit paths correlated thereto, informing vehicles within a given locality about the one or more exit paths recommended for that locality. Further, the server may instruct an ATSC transmitter to broadcast map data for the locality, the map data including designations of geofences around the locations and the correlations between the geofenced locations and the exit paths.
