COOPERATIVE TASK EXECUTION IN INSTRUMENTED ROADWAY SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A method for relaying a sensor communication to a central monitoring system by utilizing a crowdsourcing model, the method comprising:
- obtaining a registered device through crowdsourcing;
registering the registered device into a central monitoring system;
configuring the registered device to communicate with a plurality of road management sensors and with the central monitoring system;
monitoring location information of the registered device by the central monitoring system;
transmitting, via the central monitoring system, a request to gather a sensor communication from a sensor to the registered device;
executing the request, via the registered device, by capturing the sensor communication emitted from the sensor, wherein the sensor communication is emitted using a passive radio-frequency identification tag; and
relaying at least a part of the sensor communication from the registered device to the central monitoring system.

Abstract
A method and system for relaying a sensor communication to a central monitoring system by utilizing a crowdsourcing model. The method includes: obtaining a registered device through crowdsourcing; registering the registered device into a central monitoring system; configuring the registered device to communicate with a plurality of road management sensors and with the central monitoring system; monitoring and gathering location information of the registered device by the central monitoring system; transmitting, via the central monitoring system, a request to gather a sensor communication from a sensor to the registered device; executing the request, via the registered device, by capturing the sensor communication emitted from the sensor, wherein the sensor communication is emitted using a passive radio-frequency identification tag; and relaying at least a part of the sensor communication from the registered device to the central monitoring system.
