Abstract
A sensor package and associated method provides roadside sensor-based data. The sensor package includes a controller, a network access device for remote communications, GNSS receiver, an inertial measurement unit (IMU), and environment sensors. The controller operates under software control and communicates with the other sensor package devices to: collect environment sensor data using the sensors; receive GNSS signals indicating current sensor package location; obtain IMU data; determine position/orientation data that includes position data and orientation data based on the orientation data is based on the IMU data; and send the environment sensor data and the position/orientation data of the sensor package to an external device using the network access device. The environment sensor data includes at least one sensor data frame, and the sensor data frame is matched with position/orientation data based on a time associated with collecting the sensor data frame and the position/orientation data.
