Method and apparatus for providing vehicle classification based on automation level
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining, by an apparatus, training sensor data collected during at least one driving operation of one or more vehicles, wherein one or more driving automation levels of the one or more vehicles are known;
determining, by the apparatus, one or more sensor signatures for the one or more driving automation levels based, at least in part, on one or more values of one or more classification features extracted from the training sensor data, wherein the one or more classification features include one or more manually driving pattern features and one or more automatically driving pattern features, and the one or more manually driving pattern features include one or more driver physical movement features of manually driving;
determining, by the apparatus, a classification of one or more other vehicles into the one or more driving automation levels based, at least in part, on a comparison of the one or more sensor signatures with sensor data collected during at least one driving operation of the one or more other vehicles and a comparison of the sensor data collected during at least one driving operation of the one or more other vehicles to the one or more manually driving pattern features and the one or more automatically driving pattern features; and
adjusting, by the apparatus, power and bandwidth consumption by sampling additional sensor data from the one or more other vehicles at different frequencies based on the classification.

Abstract
An approach is provided for classifying one or more vehicles based on their level of automation. The approach involves determining training sensor data collected during at least one driving operation of one or more vehicles, wherein one or more automation levels of the one or more vehicles are known. The approach also involves determining one or more sensor signatures for the one or more automation levels based, at least in part, on one or more values of one or more classification features extracted from the training sensor data. The approach further involves causing, at least in part, a classification of one or more other vehicles according to the one or more automation levels based, at least in part, on the one or more sensor signatures and sensor data associated with the one or more other vehicles.

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following; determine training sensor data collected during at least one driving operation of one or more vehicles, wherein one or more driving automation levels of the one or more vehicles are known; determine one or more sensor signatures for the one or more driving automation levels based, at least in part, on one or more values of one or more classification features extracted from the training sensor data, wherein the one or more classification features include one or more manually driving pattern features and one or more automatically driving pattern features, and the one or more manually driving pattern features include one or more driver physical movement features of manually driving; determine a classification of one or more other vehicles into the one or more driving automation levels based, at least in part, on a comparison of the one or more sensor signatures with sensor data collected during at least one driving operation of the one or more other vehicles and a comparison of the sensor data collected during at least one driving operation of the one or more other vehicles to the one or more manually driving pattern features and the one or more automatically driving pattern features; and adjust power and bandwidth consumption by sampling additional sensor data from the one or more other vehicles at different frequencies based on the classification. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to perform:
-
determining training sensor data collected during at least one driving operation of one or more vehicles, wherein one or more driving automation levels of the one or more vehicles are known; determining one or more sensor signatures for the one or more driving automation levels based, at least in part, on one or more values of one or more classification features extracted from the training sensor data, wherein the one or more classification features include one or more manually driving pattern features and one or more automatically driving pattern features, and the one or more manually driving pattern features include one or more driver physical movement features of manually driving; determining a classification of one or more other vehicles into the one or more driving automation levels based, at least in part, on a comparison of the one or more sensor signatures with sensor data collected during at least one driving operation of the one or more other vehicles and a comparison of the sensor data collected during at least one driving operation of the one or more other vehicles to the one or more manually driving pattern features and the one or more automatically driving pattern features; and adjusting power and bandwidth consumption by sampling additional sensor data from the one or more other vehicles at different frequencies based on the classification. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
