    Abstract: A transportation-vehicle system for use in virtualizing sensor data from an add-on device for use by a vehicle application. The system includes a hardware-based processing unit and a computer-readable storage device. The storage includes (i) a virtual-sensor-arrangement client configured to communicate with a virtual-sensor-arrangement server of the add-on device, including receiving, from the virtual-sensor-arrangement server, the sensor data corresponding to sensing performed at a sensor of the add-on device. The add-on device is not a part of the transportation vehicle as originally manufactured. The storage also includes (ii) a virtual input/output device driver configured to, when executed by the processing unit, process the sensor data received, yielding virtualized sensor data for delivery to the vehicle application. The technology also includes processes for making and using the system for virtualizing sensor data from an add-on device for use by a vehicle application.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for participative sensing of road friction conditions by vehicles, collection of the friction data from a large number of vehicles by a central server, processing the data to classify friction conditions by roadway and locale, and sending notifications of the friction conditions to vehicles as appropriate. A large number of vehicles use participative sensing systems to identify road friction estimates which are reported to the central server—where the vehicles use sensor data and vehicle dynamic conditions to estimate friction. The central server stores and aggregates the friction data, filters it and ages it. Vehicles requesting advisories from the central server will receive notices of road friction conditions which may be significant based on their location and heading. Driver warnings can be issued for low friction conditions ahead, and automated vehicle systems may also respond to the notices.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for participative sensing of events and conditions by road vehicles, collection of this data from a large number of road vehicles by a central server, processing the data to identify events and conditions which may be of interest to other vehicles in a particular location, and sending notifications of the events and conditions to vehicles. A large number of vehicles use participative sensing systems to identify a safety-related event or condition which should be reported to the central server—such as a large pothole, an obstacle in the roadway, an icy road surface, a traffic accident, etc. The central server stores and aggregates the data, filters it and ages it. Vehicles requesting advisories from the central server will receive notices of safety-related events and conditions based on their location and heading. Driver warnings can be issued, and vehicle systems may respond to the notices.
