Abstract
Methods and a system are described for prioritizing the upload of connected vehicle map data in a central mapping system. A central mapping unit includes a central server which receives and processes data uploads by priority order, from highest priority to lowest priority. The uploaded data is compared to central map data to determine whether the central map requires updating. When the central mapping unit determines that there is not enough information to update the central map in a region, a priority list is updated to give high priority to data collection in the region. The updated priority list is pushed to connected vehicles travelling in the region, which have external sensors for data collection in the surrounding environment. When a connected vehicle enters the region, its external sensors collect data regarding the region, which is uploaded to the central mapping unit with highest priority.
