There is disclosed a system and method wherein precise geographical location information such as Global Positioning System coordinate data is utilized as a principal criterion for implementing other wireless transmitted instructions and communications advising vehicles, and others, of an approaching emergency vehicle, the proximity of a hazardous condition, or virtually any other situation which is relevant to the intended recipient because of their location. The system and method further can involve intervention and control of a vehicle, such as an aircraft or automobile, which comes into a predetermined location or area, or under other circumstances. The system and method use transmitting units and receiving units, both of which can receive geographical positioning information and which may sound or otherwise output an appropriate advisory, warning or other communication selected based on their positions, heading, and/or speed.

What is claimed is: 1. A system for geographically selective vehicle to vehicle communication, comprising:a positioning system circuit in a second vehicle for determining a geographical location of the second vehicle;a receiving unit in the second vehicle, the receiving unit being for receiving data from a transmitting unit of a first vehicle, the data including geographical location information of the first vehicle; anda computing circuit in the second vehicle for determining whether the second vehicle is in a target footprint of the first vehicle based at least in part on the geographic locations of the first and second vehicles;wherein the computing circuit sends information to an output device in the second vehicle if the second vehicle is in the target footprint of the first vehicle, the output device being for outputting information,wherein the computing circuit determines whether the second vehicle is in the target footprint of the first vehicle based in part on at least one of a heading and speed of the first vehicle,wherein a shape of a peripheral boundary of the target footprint is modified if a turn of the first vehicle is anticipated or performed,wherein the target footprint is smaller than a broadcasting range of the transmitting unit.
