Abstract
Pathside communication relay (PCR) for collecting and distributing pathside data among client devices. The PCR collects client data from client devices (such as vehicles, pedestrians, and roadside infrastructure) and sensor data from sensors. The PCR processes the collected client data and sensor data and generates pathside data to be distributed among the client devices. In some examples, the PCR includes wireless telecommunication circuitry for distributing the pathside data over dedicated short-range communications (DSRC) signals using the Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) protocol and/or Cellular-Vehicle to everything (Cellular-V2X) communications. The pathside data can include location data of client devices and other objects, ambient conditions, traffic data, and other information to facilitate improved decision-making (such as collision avoidance) by client devices.
