Described is accurate reporting of transportation-related incidents based on the wireless network positioning enhancements that can locate a device on the order of one meter or less. Upon encountering an incident, such as sensed road damage, an accident or another vehicle that is possibly in distress, a report is automatically generated and wirelessly sent to a smart transportation infrastructure server. The report includes or is augmented by the wireless network with accurate incident location data, along with incident type (e.g., pothole, or accident). Depending on the type of incident, the smart transportation infrastructure server can take appropriate actions, including summoning help, notifying the department of transportation of the need for road repairs and so forth. Other actions can include predicting traffic jams resulting from an incident, which can be used to notify other parties such as a wireless network to allocate additional resources/balance load accordingly.
