Abstract

A system for generating a heat map corresponding to a difficult road topography includes one or more processors, network interface hardware, and one or more memory modules. When the machine-readable instructions are executed by the one or more processors, the system is caused to: receive vehicle swarm data related to at least the vehicle performance and the vehicle occupant, wherein at least a portion of the vehicle swarm data is generated by one or more vehicle sensors mounted to a vehicle of a vehicle swarm; determine the difficult road topography based on the vehicle swarm data; generate a heat map of the difficult road topography, wherein the heat map is based upon an aggregate number of times that a determination is made that a location has difficult road topography; and provide the heat map to a user though a user device.
