Abstract: A system for cloud coordinated vehicle data collection includes an onboard vehicle data management subsystem and a remotely-located back-office subsystem. Each subsystem includes one or more control modules having a processor, a memory, and input/output (I/O) ports. The control modules execute program code portions stored in memory. A first program code portion collects vehicle data from onboard vehicle data sources. A second program code portion determines which of several distinct communications systems will be used to transmit the vehicle data to the remotely-located back-office subsystem. A third program code portion causes the remotely-located back-office subsystem to allocate data processing tasks to specific computing resources.
