Abstract
An infrastructure component includes a sensor, a transmitter, and a computer communicatively coupled to the sensor and to the transmitter. The computer is programmed to, in response to receiving data from the sensor indicating an object approaching a predesignated zone, determine an estimated time until the object reaches the predesignated zone; and then instruct the transmitter to broadcast a message to nearby vehicles, the message including an identifier of the predesignated zone and the estimated time.
