Abstract :
The need and utility of a Motorist Aid System is presented. The present state of the art systems are reviewed including Citizens Band Radio. Evaluation factors for comparing different systems are developed and applied to the state of the art. A novel system concept using passing vehicles to store and forward aid requests on a passive basis is presented. The advantages of the new approach are compared to the existing systems. Implementation schedules for the new system are estimated based upon new automobile sales.
