Abstract
A method for the crowdsourced detection of defective street lights includes receiving reporting data from a plurality of vehicles, where each reporting data includes: (i) at least one light intensity value measured by at least one sensor of a respective vehicle, (ii) a time that the light intensity value was measured by the respective vehicle, and (iii) a location of the respective vehicle at the time that the light intensity value was measured. The method also includes obtaining a baseline light intensity value for at least one street light at the location and combining the reporting data received from the plurality of vehicles to generate combined light intensity data for the location. An indication of a degradation of performance of the at least one street light is then generated in response to a comparison of the combined light intensity data to the baseline light intensity value.
