Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for alerting passenger vehicles of approaching emergency vehicles is implemented by an alert management computing device. The method includes receiving an emergency vehicle alert request message from an emergency vehicle transmitter, receiving passenger vehicle location data from a plurality of passenger vehicle user computing devices located in a plurality of passenger vehicles, wherein the passenger vehicle location data includes a present passenger vehicle location and a present passenger vehicle trajectory, identifying an alert zone for the emergency vehicle based on the present emergency vehicle location and the present emergency vehicle trajectory, identifying a vehicle zone for each of the plurality of passenger vehicles, identifying a subset of the passenger vehicles within the alert zone by comparing each vehicle zone to the alert zone, and transmitting a warning to the subset of passenger vehicles via the passenger vehicle user computing devices.

Claim (Index 21):
A computer-implemented method for communicating a message to at least some of a plurality of vehicles approaching an alert zone, said method comprising:\n receiving an alert request message including an identifier of a requester of the alert request message, a timestamp, a type of an alert zone present, and a location of the alert zone, the timestamp distinguishing an earlier alert request message from a later alert request message; calculating an alert zone boundary based on the type of alert zone and the location of the alert zone, the alert zone including an alert zone area surrounding the location of the alert zone; receiving vehicle location data from a plurality of vehicle user computing devices located in a respective plurality of vehicles, the vehicle location data includes a present vehicle location, and a present vehicle trajectory; calculating a vehicle zone for each of the plurality of vehicles based on the present vehicle location and the present vehicle trajectory, and a predetermined time to travel, the vehicle zone including a variable-sized vehicle zone area surrounding each of the plurality of vehicles; identifying a subset of the plurality of vehicles within the alert zone by comparing each vehicle zone to the alert zone, the subset of the plurality of vehicles consists of vehicles whose vehicle zone overlaps the alert zone boundary; and transmitting an alert message to the subset of the plurality of vehicles via the vehicle user computing devices, the alert message includes information regarding the alert zone location and the alert zone area.
