Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for detecting and verifying obstructions on a road. The systems and methods may receive road conditions data from a vehicle. The systems and methods may detect an obstruction from the road conditions data. The systems and methods may determine a vehicle movement pattern according to the obstruction. The systems and methods may generate a verification strategy to verify the obstruction, according to the obstruction and the vehicle movement pattern. The systems and methods may select a subset of vehicles to implement the verification strategy. The systems and methods may send the verification strategy to the subset of vehicles causing the subset of vehicles to collect verification data on the obstruction according to the verification strategy. The systems and methods may receive the verification data on the obstruction from the subset of vehicles. The systems and methods may verify the obstruction based on the verification data.
