VEHICLE INFORMATION GATHERING SYSTEM

摘要

A vehicle information gathering system comprises an onboard communication device, an onboard storage device and an onboard controller. The onboard communication device communicates with external data sources. The onboard storage device stores a data set comprising at least one data subset reference. The onboard controller automatically determines an availability of each of the external data sources, assigns a respective communication priority to each data subset reference based on the availability of each of the external data sources and at least one priority criteria, assigns at least one external data source to each data subset reference based on the availability and the priority criteria, and controls the communication device to communicate with at least one external data source based on the respective communication priority assigned to each data subset reference to receive at least one data subset via the assigned external data source for storage on the storage device.

1. A vehicle information gathering system comprising:
an onboard communication device configured to communicate with a plurality of external data sources; an onboard storage device configured to store a data set comprising at least one data subset reference; and an onboard controller configured to automatically determine an availability of each of the plurality of external data sources, automatically assign a respective communication priority to each of the at least one data subset reference based on the availability of each of the plurality of external data sources and at least one priority criteria, automatically assign at least one of the plurality of external data sources to each of the at least one data subset reference based on the availability and the at least one priority criteria, and automatically control the communication device to communicate with at least one of the external data sources based on the respective communication priority assigned to each of the at least one data subset reference to receive at least one data subset via the assigned external data source for storage on the storage device.
