System and method for routing, mobility, application services, discovery, and sensing in a vehicular network environment
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor of a data collector, a request for sensor data related to a location based transient event;
identifying at least one ad hoc vehicular network from among a plurality of ad hoc vehicular networks proximate to the location based transient event, wherein the at least one ad hoc vehicular network includes a plurality of on-board units (OBUs) each associated with respective one of a plurality of vehicles;
sending, by the data collector, a plurality of requests for the sensor data to the plurality of OBUs of the at least one ad hoc vehicular network; and
receiving a plurality of responses from the plurality of OBUs, respectively, wherein each response of the plurality of responses includes a sensor data item related to the location based transient event and is encapsulated with a tag that includes location information and direction information, associated with the sensor data item; and
providing, by the data collector, at least one map tile associated with the location based transient event, the at least one map tile generated by cross-referencing the location information and the direction information in the tag with raw vector data.

Abstract
A method includes receiving, by a processor of a data collector, a request for sensor data related to an event. The method also includes sending a plurality of requests for the sensor data to a plurality of on-board units (OBUs), respectively, where the plurality of OBUs is associated with a plurality of vehicles, respectively. The method further includes receiving a plurality of responses from the plurality of OBUs, respectively, wherein each response of the plurality of responses includes a sensor data item related to the event. In more specific embodiments the plurality of requests are sent to the plurality of OBUs based on the plurality of OBUs being located within a certain proximity to the event. In yet further embodiments, each sensor data item of the plurality of responses is encapsulated with a respective tag.
