1. A computer-implemented method for providing vehicle collision avoidance at an intersection, comprising:

  • receiving vehicle parameters from a reference vehicle and environmental parameters from roadside equipment (RSE), wherein the environmental parameters are indicative of infrastructure data, traffic data, and weather data associated with the vicinity of the intersection;

    processing a vehicle behavioral map, wherein processing the vehicle behavioral map includes evaluating the vehicle parameters and the environmental parameters and augmenting a geographical map with a location of the reference vehicle and data that is indicative of expected vehicle maneuvers based on the vehicle parameters and the environmental parameters;

    transmitting the vehicle behavioral map to a target vehicle;

    processing a confidence table based on the vehicle behavioral map and the vehicle parameters provided by the target vehicle, wherein the confidence table is populated with data extracted from the vehicle behavioral map and the vehicle parameters provided by the target vehicle; and

    providing a collision avoidance response based on the confidence table, wherein the collision avoidance response is provided to the target vehicle to avoid a possible collision with the reference vehicle at the intersection.
