AD-HOC MOBILE IP NETWORK FOR INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- establishing a mobile Internet Protocol (IP) network between a base station and a plurality of vehicles within a transportation network;
dynamically detecting the presence of a first node associated with a first vehicle utilizing the base station, and extending the mobile IP network to include the first node;
receiving over the mobile IP network real-time event data of events associated with the plurality of vehicles; and
processing the event data to assess whether a field of view of the first vehicle is obscured by another vehicle.

Abstract
A method for intelligently managing a transportation network is provided. The method may include providing a roadside apparatus 18 to communicate with nodes 14A to 14D associated with vehicles 12A to 12D in a transportation network, the vehicle nodes being in a neighborhood range of the roadside apparatus. The roadside apparatus may dynamically detect the presence of a node 14A associated with a first vehicle 12A, and establish a mobile Internet Protocol (IP) network between the roadside apparatus and the first vehicle'"'"'s node. The roadside apparatus 18 receives, in real-time, from the first vehicle'"'"'s node 14A event data of events associated with the first vehicle 12A over the mobile IP network. The roadside apparatus 18 or nodes 14A to 14D may further receive or transmit real-time command data to control subsystems of a vehicle.
