1. A system, comprising:
- a mobile node in a vehicle for communications in a transportation network, the mobile node comprising;
a first processor;
a first memory;
a first communication device configured to send and receive one or more messages; and
a first set of instructions executable by the first processor for;
a. extracting a location of an event from a first message;
b. making a first determination by comparing the location of the event to a geographic characteristic of the mobile node; and
c. sending a second message based on the first determination; and
a stationary node for communications in the transportation network, the stationary node comprising;
a second processor;
a second memory;
a second communication device configured to send and receive one or more messages; and
a second set of instructions executable by the second processor for;
a. receiving the second message;
b. extracting a location of an event from the second message;
c. making a second determination at least in part by comparing the location of the event to a geographic characteristic of the stationary node;
d. making a third determination as to whether a third message should be sent based on the second determination.

Abstract
A node for communications in a transportation network comprises a processor, a memory, a communication device, and a set of instructions executable by the processor for: extracting information from a first message, making a first determination based at least in part on the information; and making a second determination as to whether a second message should be sent based on the first determination.

12. A system, comprising:
-
a mobile node in a vehicle for communications in a transportation network, the mobile node comprising; a first processor; a first memory; a first communication device configured to send and receive one or more messages; and a first set of instructions executable by the first processor for; a. receiving a first message from said communication device; b. making a determination as to whether information extracted from the first message surpasses a predetermined threshold, thereby determining a significance of the first message; c. if the information surpasses the threshold, creating a second message; d. if the information surpasses the threshold, providing at least one command to a controller in the vehicle to cause the vehicle to perform at least one of altering the vehicle'"'"'s direction and altering the vehicle'"'"'s speed; and sending the second message based on the first determination; and a stationary node for communications in the transportation network, the stationary node comprising; a second processor; a second memory; a second communication device configured to send and receive one or more messages; and a second set of instructions executable by the second processor for; a. receiving the second message; b. extracting a location of an event from the second message; c. making a second determination at least in part by comparing the location of the event to a geographic characteristic of the stationary node; d. sending a third message based at least in part on the second determination. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method, comprising:
-
receiving a first message in a mobile node; extracting a location of an event from the first message; making a first determination by comparing the location of the event to a geographic characteristic of the node; making a second determination as to whether a second message should be sent based on the first determination;
based on the first determination, providing at least one command to a controller in the vehicle to cause the vehicle to perform at least one of altering the vehicle'"'"'s direction and altering the vehicle'"'"'s speed;sending the second message from the mobile node to a stationary node; receiving the second message in the stationary node; extracting a location of an event from the second message; making a second determination at least in part by comparing the location of the event to a geographic characteristic of the stationary node; and sending a third message based at least in part on the second determination.
