Transmission, receipt, and presentation of vehicle specific environmental conditions and hazards information
First Claim
1. A method for transmitting environmental conditions information, comprising:
- receiving at least some environmental conditions data and/or information;
scaling the received environmental conditions data and/or information such that a scaled environmental conditions value is determined for a particular vehicle;
receiving an environmental conditions threshold value;
comparing the scaled environmental conditions value to the received environmental conditions threshold value;
determining whether the scaled environmental conditions value is greater than the received environmental conditions threshold value; and
transmitting, if the scaled environmental conditions value is greater than the received environmental conditions threshold value, at least one of the data and/or information relating to the environmental conditions, the dynamic vehicle information, the scaled environmental conditions value, and the environmental conditions threshold value.

Abstract
A method for transmitting environmental conditions information, which includes receiving at least some environmental conditions information, scaling the received information such that a scaled environmental conditions value is determined for a particular vehicle, receiving an environmental conditions threshold value, comparing the scaled value to the received threshold value, determining whether the scaled value is greater than the received threshold value, and transmitting, if the scaled value is greater than the received threshold value, at least some of the information. Additionally, a method for displaying environmental conditions information, which includes receiving at least some scaled environmental conditions information, wherein the scaled information has been scaled to the particular receiving vehicle and exceeds a predetermined threshold value for the vehicle, determining whether the received information represents information that satisfies predetermined display requirements, preparing, if the received information satisfies the predetermined display requirements, the information for display, and displaying the prepared information.

-
receiving at least some scaled data and/or information, wherein the scaled data and/or information has been scaled to the particular receiving vehicle, and exceeds a predetermined threshold value for the vehicle;
determining whether the received data and/or information represents data and/or information that is in a location and/or of a severity that satisfies predetermined display requirements;
preparing, if the received data and/or information represents data and/or information that is in a location and/or of a severity that satisfies the predetermined display requirements, the data and/or information for display; and
displaying, the prepared data and/or information. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
