Abstract: Described herein is a high confidence ground truth information service executing on a network of edge computing devices. A variety of participating devices obtain high confidence ground truth information relating to objects in a local environment. This information is communicated to the ground truth information service, where it may be verified and aggregated with similar information before being communicated as part of an acquired ground truth dataset to one or more subscribing devices. The subscribing devices use the ground truth information, as included in the ground truth dataset, to both validate and improve their supervised learning systems.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments prioritize gaps in V2X coverage and then selectively route traffic based on the prioritized gaps. Some embodiments combine historical vehicle presence along a route with predicted prospective vehicle traffic along the route to generate a map of regions that have a high confidence of a need for V2X coverage. This high confidence map is compared to a historical V2X coverage in those regions. From this comparison, a set of high priority V2X gaps is identified. Vehicles are then selectively routed either around or into the gaps.

Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for providing improved privacy protection against vehicle tracking for connected vehicles of a vehicular network. For example, at least one road side unit may: identify a set of vehicles that require pseudonym changes and send an invitation for a pseudonym change event to each of the vehicles, determine at least a total number of the acceptances, determine whether the total number meets or exceeds a predetermined threshold number, send acknowledgement messages to the accepting vehicles if the threshold number is met, and form a vehicle group to coordinate the pseudonym change event during a privacy period. During the privacy period, the RSU and the vehicles may communicate with each other in a confidential and private manner via key-session-based unicast transmission, and coordinate transmission power and vehicle trajectory adjustments to maximize the benefits for safety and obfuscation for privacy.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for wireless sensor networks (WSNs), including vehicle-based WSNs. A road side unit (RSU) includes one or more fixed sensors covering different sectors of a designated coverage area. The RSU uses the sensors to capture sensor data that is representative of objects in the coverage area, tracks objects (e.g., vehicles) in the coverage area, and determines regions in the coverage area that are not adequately covered by the sensors (e.g., “perception gaps”). When the RSU identifies an object that is in or at a perception gap, then the RSU sends a request to that object for sensor data captured by the object's on-board sensors. The RSU obtains the sensor data from the object, and uses the obtained sensor data to complement the knowledge that the RSU (i.e., “filling the peception gaps”). Other embodiments are disclosed and/or claimed.
