A system for reducing the likelihood of collision between a first vehicle and a second vehicle in an intersection. Each of the first and second vehicles includes a device for receiving global positioning system (GPS) signals, generating at least one of a time, position and velocity signal based on t
A system for reducing the likelihood of collision between a first vehicle and a second vehicle in an intersection. Each of the first and second vehicles includes a device for receiving global positioning system (GPS) signals, generating at least one of a time, position and velocity signal based on the received GPS signals, generating at least one of a time, position and velocity signal based upon the motion of the vehicle, comparing the two signals, generating a corrected vehicle signal, and transmitting the corrected vehicle signal. A traffic flow controller controls traffic flow through the intersection. The traffic flow controller receiving the corrected vehicle signals, calculates from the corrected vehicle signals the likelihood that the positions of the first and second vehicles will coincide in the intersection, and generates a traffic flow control signal adapted to minimize the likelihood of coincidence of the first and second vehicles in the intersection.

1. A system for reducing the likelihood of collision between a first vehicle and a second vehicle in an intersection, the first vehicle including a first device for receiving global positioning system (GPS) signals, generating at least one of a first time, position and velocity signal based on the received GPS signals, generating at least one of a second time, position and velocity signal based upon the motion of the first vehicle, comparing the first and second signals, generating a corrected first vehicle signal, and transmitting the corrected first vehicle signal, the second vehicle including a second device for receiving GPS signals, generating at least one of a third time, position and velocity based on the received GPS signals, generating at least one of a fourth time, position and velocity based on the motion of the second vehicle, comparing the third and fourth signals, generating a corrected second vehicle signal, a traffic flow controller for controlling traffic flow through the intersection, the traffic flow controller receiving the corrected first vehicle signal and corrected second vehicle signal, calculating from the corrected first vehicle signal and corrected second vehicle signal the likelihood that the positions of the first and second vehicles will coincide in the intersection, and generating a traffic flow control signal adapted to minimize the likelihood of coincidence of the first and second vehicles in the intersection. 2. The system of claim 1 wherein the traffic flow controller is biased to give precedence to traffic flow in one direction over traffic flow in another direction. 3. The system of claim 1 wherein the traffic flow controller is further configured to turn control of traffic over to a standard traffic signal timing mechanism if traffic flow exceeds a threshold. 4. The system of claim 1 further including a third device for receiving differential GPS (DGPS) correction signals and retransmitting the DGPS correction signals, the first device receiving the DGPS correction signals and combining the DGPS correction signals with the GPS signals to generate the at least one of the first time, position and velocity signal. 5. The system of claim 4 wherein the second device receives the DGPS correction signals and combines the DGPS correction signals with the GPS signals to generate the at least one of the third time, position and velocity signal. 6. The system of claim 1 further including a third device for receiving differential GPS (DGPS) correction signals and retransmitting the DGPS correction signals, the second device receiving the DGPS correction signals and combining the DGPS correction signals with the GPS signals to generate the at least one of the third time, position and velocity signal. 7. The system of claim 1 wherein at least one of the first vehicle and the second vehicle further includes a third device for recording at least one of the corrected first vehicle signal and the corrected second vehicle signal.
