Abstract
A set of first candidate topologies of first candidate roadside infrastructure nodes at respective mounting locations in a geographic area is randomly generated. For each of the first candidate topologies, first simulations, including detection of objects according to selected sensor parameters, installation parameters, and environment parameters for the candidate nodes at the respective mounting locations, are executed. First fitness scores are determined for each of the first candidate topologies by comparing results of the first simulations to ground truth data. Upon identifying one of the first fitness scores as exceeding a threshold, the candidate topology associated with the identified first fitness score is identified for deployment.
