Abstract
Location-synchronous averaging of connected vehicle data is provided. Connected vehicle data, including events occurring to a plurality of vehicles driving along roadways and location coordinates at which the respective events occurred, is aggregated. A kernel density estimation is performed to smoothly aggregate neighboring event counts. The locations of conditions along the roadways are indicated as being where the aggregate neighboring event counts have a value over a predefined threshold.
