Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for prioritizing traffic information and broadcasting the traffic information in a prioritized order. The method generally comprises receiving data regarding traffic conditions on various roads, wherein each road can be characterized as being a major, medium, or minor road. In one approach, traffic data regarding major roads are broadcast to vehicles first, followed by traffic data regarding medium roads, while traffic data regarding minor roads are either broadcast last or not at all, depending on the traffic information handling capacities of the vehicles and the traffic information system in general.
