Abstract
An ad hoc network may be established between vehicles using a wireless connection. The wireless network may be used for sending and receiving information about road conditions, such as average speed, a location and configuration of a road obstruction, images of an accident scene, and a traffic flow plan. The wireless network may also be used for communicating with emergency response vehicles in order to enable faster and more effective responses to accidents.
