Abstract
Driver error is the most frequent cause of accidents. One of the most dangerous places are the intersections without traffic light regulation. This paper proposes an algorithm for the safe crossing of such intersection, based on the processing of information about location, speed and heading obtained by GPS. The data exchange is carried out with the help of DSRC. The result of the calculations is the predicted minimal distance between the cars. Using these data the system produces a warning message for the car driver.
