Abstract
A computer-implemented method and system for controlling sensor data acquisition including establishing an operable connection for computer communication between a first vehicle and remote vehicles within a communication range. The method includes receiving capability data corresponding to the capabilities of sensors of the one or more remote vehicles, including a sensor actuation time slot. The method includes selecting a set of N remote vehicles based on the capability data. The set of N remote vehicles consists remote vehicles closest to the first vehicle, and the sensor actuation time slot of each of the remote vehicles in the set of N remote vehicles are different. The method includes dividing a clock cycle into a plurality of time slots, and controlling, according to the plurality of time slots and the sensor actuation time slot, sensor actuation.
