COOPERATIVE TASK EXECUTION IN INSTRUMENTED ROADWAY SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A method for relaying a sensor communication to a monitoring system by utilizing a crowdsourcing model, the method comprising:
- configuring a user-device to communicate with a plurality of road management sensors;
receiving, by the user-device, a request to gather a sensor communication from a sensor to the user-device;
executing the request, via the user-device, by capturing the sensor communication emitted from the sensor;
examining, by the user-device, the sensor communication to identify a relay point to which the sensor communication is to be transmitted; and
relaying, by the user-device, to the relay point, the sensor communication and a location of the sensor, wherein the relay point determines a first central monitoring system to which the sensor communication is to be forwarded in response to the sensor communication being indicative of a malfunction at the sensor, the relay point determines a second central monitoring system to which the sensor communication is to be forwarded in response to the sensor communication not being indicative of the malfunction at the sensor, and wherein the determination of a destination central monitoring system for the sensor communication is further based on attributes of the sensor communication, a timestamp at which the sensor communication is captured, and a location of the sensor initiating the sensor communication so that the destination central monitoring system communicates with a corresponding repair crew to be dispatched to the sensor in case of malfunction.

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.
