Abstract
A method and system for controlling vehicle sensor data acquisition using a vehicular communication network, including synchronizing a local clock signal of a first vehicle and a local clock signal of a second vehicle with a global time signal. Further, determining a capture interval for a sensor data acquisition process time that maximizes a total number of data frames that can be captured by a sensor of the first vehicle and by a sensor of the second vehicle. Based on the capture interval, transmitting a first sensor trigger pulse to the sensor of the first vehicle and transmitting a second sensor trigger pulse according to the sensor of the second vehicle. The first vehicle transmits the sensor data from the sensor of the first vehicle to the second vehicle, and the second vehicle transmits the sensor data from the sensor of the second vehicle to the first vehicle.
