I think a combined detector/associator network is the next step.

Repentance for using MHT to accelerate vehicle interconnectedness might consist of V2I.

Audi vehicles with 802.11p V2I capabilities have an information sharing agreement with Traffic Technology Services in certain municipalities that alert a driver of a vehicle when a red light will turn green.

I botched the open-sourcing, I intended to post this one: https://github.com/asfarley/vtc_opensource I've updated the license to BSD 3-Clause and deleted the EULA.txt.

In that repo, the default branch 'main' has only a licence file. Perhaps you meant to make the 'master' branch the default?

Yes, done now

I accidentally linked the wrong repo (it was original/unredacted with API keys, etc). The correct repo is: https://github.com/asfarley/vtc_opensource

Just tossed it over to my GIS and metro-planning friends and they all reacted with "O-hoooo, what a good news" .

Kudos!

It's funny that this is released the same day as a 56 minute overhead drone video of the Swindon magic roundabout, one of the UK's most iconic road junctions: https://youtu.be/CzQunCuQCJY?si=X1nbcxiWOCcnm8eO

Assume someone grabbed the API keys. Change them as soon as possible.

I made an Android app in this space a few years back. It's helped a few people but I never got a grip on the market or understanding of the space.
