A method for providing information to a driver of a vehicle includes receiving remote vehicle information indicating geospatial state and kinematic state for each of the one or more remote vehicles. The method also includes identifying host vehicle information indicating geospatial state and kinematic state for the host vehicle, identifying a queue length representing a number of vehicles queued ahead of the host vehicle, and identifying at least one of the one or more remote vehicles as a conflicting vehicle. The method also includes determining a time-to-contact based on the remote vehicle information corresponding to the conflicting vehicle and the host vehicle information. The method also includes causing a warning alert to be output if the time-to-contact is less than a warning alert threshold and only if the queue length is zero vehicles.
