MATCHING A FIRST CONNECTED DEVICE WITH A SECOND CONNECTED DEVICE BASED ON VEHICLE-TO-EVERYTHING MESSAGE VARIABLES

The disclosure includes embodiments for matching riders to drivers for a ride sharing service based on a V2X message variable. In some embodiments, a method for a first connected device includes: receiving a first V2X broadcast message from a second connected device, where the first V2X broadcast message includes a request for the ride sharing service; determining a first V2X-message variable associated with the first V2X broadcast message; executing a ride-share matching process to match the first connected device with the second connected device based at least in part on the first V2X-message variable so that a delay of the ride-share matching process is minimized; and responsive to a completion of the ride-share matching process, modifying an operation of the communication unit to establish a secure communication between the first connected device and the second connected device for exchanging ride share information for the ride sharing service.
