Network infrastructure for collaborative automated driving
Various systems and methods for a roadside network. The roadside network includes one or more processors to receive gather traffic data from a first set and a second set of sensors associated with a first sector and second sector, respectfully. A minimum forward visibility range is determined. Portions of the sectors overlap to provide the minimum forward visibility range. Processed traffic data is generated based on the traffic data for both sectors. The processed traffic data is then sent to antennas to be transmitted to the respective sector.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first sector is a portion of a road.
10. At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium, including instructions, which when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations for a roadside network, the operations comprising:
receiving, from a first plurality of sensors, first traffic data associated with a first sector;
sending, to a first plurality of antennas, the first traffic data to transmit the first traffic data to vehicles within the first sector;
receiving, from a second plurality of sensors, second traffic data associated with a second sector, wherein the first sector overlaps at least a portion of the second sector;
sending, to a second plurality of antennas, the second traffic data to transmit the second traffic data to vehicles within the second sector;
