Annex E Traffic Probe Message Use and Operation
Probe Data Introduction
Probe Data is comprised of vehicle attribute and sensor data that is collected and sent from a vehicle OBU
to a local RSU.  This data will be used to ascertain real time road, weather, and traffic conditions. The post-

appropriate action.  This data is collected autonomously as vehicles are traveling along the roadway system
and sent to an RSU when applicable.  The probe message developed by the SAE-DSRC Traffic and
Traveler Information Subcommittee discussed earlier in this standard, describes the payload and format of
the Probe Data Message.  This Annex describes when the OBU should collect Probe Data from the
vehicle’s internal modules/sensors as well as when and how an OBU should send the data.
