Method and system for using intersecting electronic horizons
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- generating a first set of vehicle data at a first vehicle, the first set of vehicle data describing a first electronic horizon for the first vehicle;
sending the first set of vehicle data to a wireless access point;
receiving, from the wireless access point, data indicative of an intersection of the first electronic horizon for the first vehicle and a second electronic horizon for a second vehicle; and
providing, using a vehicle implemented processor, data indicative of at least one path of a road network on which the first vehicle can travel based on the intersection of the first electronic horizon and the second electronic horizon.

Abstract
A method and system for using data associated with a first vehicle and a given road segment defined for a road network and using data associated with a second vehicle and the given road segment to determine a multi-vehicle probability value that indicates a probability that the first vehicle and the second vehicle will arrive at a common position of the given road segment simultaneously. The multi-vehicle probability value can be compared to a threshold probability value to determine whether the first vehicle and/or the second vehicle should take a responsive measure to avoid those vehicles arriving at the common position of the given road segment simultaneously. The data associated the first vehicle and the data associated with the second vehicle can each include a respective electronic horizon for that vehicle, and time parameters and probability values associated with those vehicles being on the given road segment.
