CONTEXT-BASED TRAFFIC FLOW CONTROL
First Claim
1. A method for providing traffic flow control services, the method comprising:
- receiving requests, at an arbiter of a traffic control subsystem, the traffic control subsystem is in a first state, the requests received from vehicle transmitters in proximity of the traffic control subsystem;
applying a pre-defined condition to the requests; and
implementing a traffic flow control activity responsive to application of the pre-defined condition, the traffic flow control activity including one of;
maintaining the first state, and changing the first state of the traffic control subsystem to a second state.

Abstract
Providing traffic flow control services includes receiving requests at an arbiter of a traffic control subsystem. The traffic control subsystem is in a first state, and the requests are received from vehicle transmitters in proximity of the traffic control subsystem. Traffic flow control services also include applying a pre-defined condition to the requests and implementing a traffic flow control activity responsive to application of the pre-defined condition. The traffic flow control activity includes maintaining the first state or changing the first state of the traffic control subsystem to a second state.
