Claim 0:
1. A method of utilizing basic safety messages (BSMs) to provide insight of traffic situations to a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) enabled vehicle, the method comprising:
transmitting BSMs from on-road vehicles;
forwarding V2X messages including BSMs to a multi-access edge computing (MEC) server or other type of cloud computing server;
extracting data samples from the V2X messages including BSMs;
generating statistical results from the extracted data samples, wherein the statistical results define one or more distributions that indicate a temporary road situation within a spatial-temporal range of the V2X enabled vehicle; and
visualizing the statistical results for a driver of the V2X enabled vehicle wherein the statistical results are visually displayed so that variation in vehicle speed is illustrated by a gradient of color within one or more directional arrows, wherein a darker color within the one or more directional arrows represents a lower vehicle speed and a lighter color, lighter than the darker color, represents a higher vehicle speed, wherein lane change behavior is based on distributions of steering wheel angles and displayed as forking of the one or more directional arrows, and wherein a cross-sectional width of the one or more directional arrows represents a density of on-road vehicles.
