Abstract

An example operation includes one or more of receiving, by a transport, a notification when at least one of an emergency transport and the transport approach one another, wherein the notification includes a movement for the transport, wherein the movement includes a path, a speed and a time for the transport to maneuver, and displaying the notification in the transport.

Claims (26)

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a transport, a notification when at least one of an emergency transport and the transport approach one another, wherein the notification includes a movement for the transport, wherein the movement includes a path, a speed and a time for the transport to maneuver; and

displaying the notification in the transport;

wherein the notification further coordinates the movement with a proximate transport, the coordinated movement based, in part, on a respective length of the transport and the proximate transport.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification further includes a direction from which the emergency transport approaches the transport, and a distance between the emergency transport and the transport.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, by a proximate transport, a second notification, wherein the second notification includes a second path for the proximate transport, the second path being in a different direction than the path of the transport, to allow room for passage of the emergency vehicle.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining whether data captured by a sensor of the transport or a proximate transport in transit to an emergency scene meets a relevancy threshold to provide an alternative speed or route to the emergency transport.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing an update to the emergency transport in transit to an emergency scene, wherein the update includes an alternative speed or route for the emergency transport based on data captured by a sensor of the transport or proximate transport.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing an update to the emergency transport arriving at an emergency scene, wherein the update includes a suggested position for the emergency transport based on data captured by a sensor of the transport or proximate transport.

7. A system, comprising:

a memory to store a set of instructions;

a processor to execute the set of instructions to cause the system to:

receive, by a transport, a notification when at least one of an emergency transport and the transport approach one another, wherein the notification includes a movement for the transport, wherein the movement includes a path, a speed and a time for the transport to maneuver; and

display the notification in the transport;

wherein the notification further coordinates the movement with a proximate transport, the coordinated movement based, in part, on a respective length of the transport and the proximate transport.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the notification further includes a direction from which the emergency transport approaches the transport, and a distance between the emergency transport and the transport.

9. The system of claim 7 , further comprising instructions executable by the processor to cause the system to receive, by a proximate transport, a second notification, wherein the second notification includes a second path for the proximate transport, the second path being in a different direction than the path of the transport, to allow room for passage of the emergency vehicle.

10. The system of claim 7 , further comprising instructions executable by the processor to cause the system to determine whether data captured by a sensor of the transport or a proximate transport in transit to an emergency scene meets a relevancy threshold to provide an alternative speed or route to the emergency transport.

11. The system of claim 7 , further comprising instructions executable by the processor to cause the system to provide an update to the emergency transport in transit to an emergency scene, wherein the update includes an alternative speed or route for the emergency transport based on data captured by a sensor of the transport or proximate transport.

12. The system of claim 7 , further comprising instructions executable by the processor to cause the system to provide an update to the emergency transport arriving at an emergency scene, wherein the update includes a suggested position for the emergency transport based on data captured by a sensor of the transport or proximate transport.

13. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions, that when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform: receiving, by a transport, a notification when at least one of an emergency transport and the transport approach one another, wherein the notification includes a movement for the transport,

wherein the movement includes a path, a speed and a time for the transport to maneuver; and displaying the notification in the transport; wherein the notification further coordinates the movement with a proximate transport, the coordinated movement based, in part, on a respective length of the transport and the proximate transport.

14. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the notification further includes a direction from which the emergency transport approaches the transport, and a distance between the emergency transport and the transport.

15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 13 , further comprising receiving, by a proximate transport, a second notification, wherein the second notification includes a second path for the proximate transport, the second path being in a different direction than the path of the transport, to allow room for passage of the emergency vehicle.

16. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 13 , further comprising providing an update to the emergency transport in transit to an emergency scene, wherein the update includes an alternative speed or route for the emergency transport based on data captured by a sensor of the transport or proximate transport.

17. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 13 , further comprising providing an update to the emergency transport arriving at an emergency scene, wherein the update includes a suggested position for the emergency transport based on data captured by a sensor of the transport or proximate transport.
