Abstract

Upon determining that a vehicle is operating within an area, a stop time for the vehicle in the area is estimated based on operation data from an infrastructure element in the area. A vehicle sensor that is available to transition to a low power mode is identified based on the estimated stop time. Upon stopping the vehicle in the area, the available vehicle sensor is transitioned to the low power mode based on the estimated stop time being greater than a threshold.
