1. A method comprising
monitoring an intersection of a ground transportation network and approaches to the intersection using electronic sensors located in a vicinity of the intersection, the electronic sensors generating motion data about a plurality of ground transportation entities moving on the approaches or in the intersection, wherein the plurality of ground transportation entities comprise a non-capable ground transportation entity that is not capable of sending safety messages to other ground transportation entities in the vicinity of the intersection; and
based on the motion data generated by the electronic sensors, sending, from equipment located in the vicinity of the intersection, a safety message that comprises information about the non-capable ground transportation entity,
wherein the safety message that comprises information about the non-capable ground transportation entity has a message structure defined by a regulatory regime, and wherein sending the safety message comprises
determining a location of the non-capable ground transportation entity based on the motion data generated by the electronic sensors;
cross-referencing the location of the non-capable ground transportation entity with locations of one or more capable ground transportation entities that are capable of sending safety messages to other ground transportation entities in the vicinity of the intersection,
wherein the locations of the one or more capable ground transportation entities are indicated in one or more safety messages received from the one or more capable ground transportation entities;
based on the cross-referencing, determining that the location of the non-capable ground transportation entity does not match the locations of the one or more capable ground transportation entities; and
based on determining that the location of the non-capable ground transportation entity does not match the locations of the one or more capable ground transportation entities, sending the safety message that comprises information about the non-capable ground transportation entity on behalf of the non-capable ground transportation entity.
