Techniques are provided which may be implemented using various methods and/or apparatuses in a mobile device to crowd source mobile terrestrial transceiver identifiers associated with mobile terrestrial transports. In an embodiment, transceiver identifiers associated with mobile terrestrial transports may be identified and tracked through the detection and measurement of signals transmitted by mobile terrestrial transceivers received either by mobile devices located on the mobile terrestrial transport or through the detection and measurement of transient signals transmitted by passing mobile terrestrial transceivers received by stationary or near stationary mobile devices. The identity of detected mobile terrestrial transceivers and their locations and time observed may be uploaded to a server. The crowdsourced location and schedule information for the mobile terrestrial transports may be downloaded to mobile devices to provide transportation information such as arrival times, departure alerts, targeted stop alerts and other transport related functionality.

The sensor data includes different representations of one or more portions of the environment from multiple perspectives. The system identifies a subset of the different representations of the one or more portions of the environment based on context corresponding to a vehicle in the environment. The context can include, for example, a position, a direction of travel, a speed, and/or a planned movement of the vehicle. The system causes an enhanced representation of the environment for the vehicle to be generated at least in part based on consolidating and/or fusing together the subset of the different representations. The system can cause an indication of the enhanced representation of the environment to be output at the vehicle.
