Abstract

Methods, apparatuses, systems and computer program products are disclosed to estimate road surface temperature for a geographic location. Reference ambient sensor data indicative of ambient conditions in vicinity to mobile vehicles are retrieved. Reference roadside sensor data indicative of at least road surface temperature in vicinity to distributed roadside sensors are retrieved. A relationship is established between the reference ambient sensor data and road surface temperature, based on the reference ambient sensor data and based on the reference roadside sensor data. A data structure is created, encoding the established relationship. Further, current vehicle ambient sensor data, indicative of current ambient conditions in vicinity to the one or more vehicles, are collected at one or more vehicles. Finally, a road surface temperature estimate is determined for the geographic location, using the data structure and using the collected current vehicle ambient sensor data.
