Acquisition of travel- and vehicle-related data

摘要

Data acquisition from a sampling of vehicle sensors includes identifying a vehicle population density for a defined region, calculating a proportional representation ratio from the vehicle population density, and transmitting a request for data over a network. The request includes the response criteria configured with the proportional representation ratio. The data acquisition also includes receiving the data from vehicles that are located in the defined region and that fall within the proportional representation ratio, and which meet the response criteria.

主权项

1. A system for data acquisition from a sampling of vehicle sensors, comprising:
a host system computer; and logic executable by the host system computer, the logic configured to: identify a vehicle population density representing a number of vehicles in a defined region, each of the vehicles corresponding to the vehicle population density having communication components configured to communicate with the host system computer; calculate a proportional representation ratio as a percentage of the vehicle population density; transmit, via at least one of a base station and a satellite system, a request for the data over a network, the request including response criteria configured with the proportional representation ratio, the response criteria specifying which vehicles, of the number vehicles, are directed to respond with the data; and receive the data from the vehicles in the defined region that fall within the proportional representation ratio, and which meet the response criteria.
