Abstract
A system receives, from a plurality of connected vehicles, respective GPS data indicating an absolute location of a respective connected vehicle and on-board sensor data indicating locations of nearby vehicles and objects relative to the respective connected vehicle. The system processes the data to create a shared-world model that includes at least the locations of the plurality of connected vehicles and the nearby vehicles and objects. Some implementations of the shared-world model further include the speeds and trajectories of each of the plurality of connected vehicles and the nearby vehicles and objects. The system transmits a representation of the shared-world model to one or more of the plurality of connected vehicles, which may utilize the shared-world model to provide advanced warnings for drivers or to provide improved path planning for autonomous vehicles. Some representations of the shared-world model include lane-level traffic functions such as traffic density, traffic speed, and traffic throughput.
