ROAD CONDITION DETECTION
First Claim
1. A system that facilitates identification of a potential road condition associated with a road surface, comprising:
- one or more vehicles, wherein at least a first vehicle of the one or more vehicles collects data associated with the potential road condition via one or more sensors, wherein the data comprises an approximate location of the potential road condition; and
one or more remote servers, wherein the one or more remote servers receives a first subset of the data collected by the at least the first vehicle, wherein the one or more remote servers determines a probability associated with the potential road condition based at least in part on the first subset, and wherein the one or more remote servers provides a notification to at least a second vehicle when the probability exceeds a threshold value.

Abstract
Systems and methods of detection and notification of potential road conditions are disclosed herein. One such method can include the acts of receiving a first set of data associated with the location on the road surface from a first vehicle and identifying a first subset of the first set of data. The first subset can be associated with the potential road condition. The method can also include the acts of calculating a probability associated with the potential road condition based at least in part on the first subset, determining whether the probability exceeds a threshold, and notifying at least one vehicle of the potential road condition when the probability exceeds the threshold upon the at least one vehicle approaching the location.

10. A system that facilitates monitoring a road surface, comprising:
-
one or more cameras that record visual data of the road surface, wherein a subset of the visual data is associated with a first potential road condition on the road surface; and a controller area network (CAN) that collects potential road condition data and provides the potential road condition data to one or more remote servers, wherein the potential road condition data comprises location data associated with the potential road condition and the subset of the visual data from the one or more cameras. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method of detecting a potential road condition at a location on a road surface, comprising:
-
receiving a first set of data associated with the location on the road surface from a first vehicle; identifying a first subset of the first set of data, wherein the first subset is associated with the potential road condition; calculating a probability associated with the potential road condition based at least in part on the first subset; determining whether the probability exceeds a threshold; and notifying at least one vehicle of the potential road condition when the probability exceeds the threshold upon the at least one vehicle approaching the location. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
