1. A method for automatically directing traffic on a site, said method comprising:
- receiving information regarding a plurality of selected entities on a site;
receiving an indication of a first priority assigned to a first of said plurality of selected entities;
receiving an indication of a second priority assigned to a second of said plurality of selected entities;
determining that said first of said plurality of entities has a right of way over said second of said plurality of entities based upon a comparison of said first priority and said second priority;
generating a collision alert message for causing said second of said plurality of selected entities to yield right of way to said first of said plurality of selected entities;
receiving said collision alert message in a collision avoidance action implementer disposed within said second of said plurality of selected entities; and
implementing an action in response to receiving said collision alert message, wherein said action comprises displaying said collision avoidance action via said collision avoidance action implementer in said second entity as a color signal of a virtual stoplight.
