First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for determining conditions external to one or more vehicles in a geographic region, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving, in a corroborative adaptive controller, a first group of one or more indicators, wherein the first group of indicators indicate information about one or more subsystems of a first vehicle;
receiving, in the corroborative adaptive controller, a second group of one or more indicators, wherein the second group of indicators indicate information about one or more subsystems of a second vehicle; and
determining, by the corroborative adaptive controller, based on the first group of indicators and the second group of indicators, that there is an external condition in a geographic region including the first vehicle and the second vehicle that can affect performance of the first vehicle and the second vehicle.

Abstract
Techniques for cooperative vehicle adaptation are disclosed. A method according to one embodiment includes the steps of receiving an indicator of a first vehicle, receiving an indicator of a second vehicle when the second vehicle is within a geographic region of the first vehicle, analyzing the indicator of the first vehicle and the indicator of the second vehicle, and determining an external condition based on the analyzed indicators. The indicators may be fault indicators or internal condition indicators.

8. A computer program product for determining conditions external to one or more vehicles, the computer program product comprising:
-
one or more computer-readable, tangible storage devices; program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices, to receive a first group of one or more indicators, wherein the first group of indicators indicate information about one or more subsystems of a first vehicle; program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices, to receive a second group of one or more indicators, wherein the second group of indicators indicate information about one or more subsystems of a second vehicle, wherein the first and second vehicles are located within a geographic region; and program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices, to determine, based on the first group of indicators and the second group of indicators, that there is an external condition in the geographic region that can affect performance of the first vehicle and the second vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
