Abstract

The disclosure herein pertains to determining high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane eligibility of a vehicle and position of the vehicle with respect to an HOV lane. A method for an on board unit (OBU) of a vehicle may include receiving a traveler information message (TIM) from a roadside unit (RSU), the TIM having a payload including codes indicating lane parameters and HOV criteria of an HOV lane. The OBU determines whether or not the vehicle is HOV lane-eligible and whether or not the vehicle is in the HOV lane, and outputs a corresponding notification.
