The goal is to create a system whereby vehicles can exchange information about traffic conditions in an effort to
provide drivers with an early warning of traffic hazards and congestion. For example, when an accident occurs, emergency
responders could provide information about road or lane closures and the estimated time of re-openings to oncoming traffic. The oncoming traffic could then carry the information to vehicles that have not yet reached the traffic slowdown. The navigation software in these approaching vehicles could then make an informed decision about whether or not to suggest an alternate route.
