1. A method for generating a message including vehicle operating parameters comprising:

  • measuring operating parameters of an unequipped vehicle relative to an equipped vehicle that is proximate to the unequipped vehicle using monitoring equipment present on the equipped vehicle while the unequipped vehicle and the equipped vehicle are both in motion;

    detecting a position of the unequipped vehicle by a detection device of the equipped vehicle;

    generating at the equipped vehicle a message including the measured operating parameters of the unequipped vehicle; and

    transmitting from the equipped vehicle to surrounding vehicles the message including the measured operating parameters of the unequipped vehicle to inform surrounding vehicles of the operating parameters of the unequipped vehicle;

    wherein;

    the message is a basic safety message (BSM);

    the equipped vehicle and the surrounding vehicles are equipped with dedicated short range communications (DSRC) operable to send and receive BSMs;

    the unequipped vehicle is not equipped with functioning DSRC; and

    the equipped vehicle compares, with a comparator of the equipped vehicle, position of the unequipped vehicle as detected by the equipped vehicle with positions set forth in BSMs received by the equipped vehicle, whereby the equipped vehicle determines the unequipped vehicle to be unequipped with functioning DSRC if position of the unequipped vehicle as determined by the equipped vehicle does not match any vehicle position set forth in the BSMs received by the equipped vehicle.
