Systems and methods for monitoring, managing, and facilitating communications and/or transactions relating to transportation infrastructure utilization
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring, managing, and facilitating communications relating to transportation infrastructure utilization, the method comprising:
- receiving signals in association with information identifying a vehicle, the signals facilitating a process of providing access to transportation infrastructure utilization information;
processing the signals and information involving one or more locations and times for the locations, respectively, where there is a high incidence of accidents to identify, in consideration of the transportation infrastructure utilization information and in association with the vehicle, a circumstance that satisfies criteria for facilitating or initiating a process of adjusting speed limits in relation to particular locations of the transportation infrastructure and communicating adjusted speed limit information to drivers in or approaching such locations; and
controlling or utilizing one or more electronic devices to effect at least a portion of the process.
