Crowd sourcing based virtual sensor generation and virtual sansor application scattering

摘要

A virtual crowdsourcing sensor generator is provided that may be provided by a vehicle or for a vehicle, such as a service. The crowdsource virtual sensor generator may include, but is not limited to, a communication system configured to receive vehicle sensor data from one or more contributing vehicles, a location of one or more contributing vehicles and a target vehicle, and a processor configured therefor is to filter the received contributing vehicle sensor data based on the location of the one or more contributing vehicles and the location of the target vehicle, then aggregate the filtered vehicle sensor data into at least one of the data specific records and an application specific record and generate a virtual sensor for the target vehicle, wherein the virtual sensor processes the filtered and aggregated sensor data of the contributing vehicle to generate output data relating to the location of the target vehicle.
