Abstract

A system receives GPS data and on-board sensor data from several connected vehicles indicating locations of nearby vehicles and objects. The system processes the data to create a shared-world model that includes locations and velocities of the connected vehicles and nearby vehicles and objects, and the system determines whether driving hazards exist, such as potential collisions. The system may transmit an alert to at least one of the connected vehicles, to cause the connected vehicle or a mobile device to present a warning message to a driver, such as a visual, audio, or haptic message, or to cause the connected vehicle to implement an action to avoid the driving hazard, such as activating emergency braking or altering course. The system may create, and transmit to a connected vehicle or mobile device, a lane-level traffic model indicating traffic density, traffic speed, and traffic throughput.
