Claim 10:
11. A system for synchronizing road segment parameters with images of a road segment to facilitate improved analysis or display of information about the road segment, the system comprising:
an image sensor configured to capture images of a road segment;
a set of sensing devices including: (i) one or more vehicle sensors or (ii) one or more infrastructure devices;
a computer system coupled to the image sensor and the set of sensing devices, the computer system including one or more processors and computer readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computer system to:
capture, via the image sensor, a set of images of the road segment during a time-period,
detect, via the set of sensing devices, a plurality of road segment parameters associated with the road segment during the time-period, wherein the plurality of road segment parameters are collected via the one or more vehicle sensors or the one or more infrastructure devices disposed proximate to the road segment,
timestamp the set of images according to a first clock associated with the image sensor and the plurality of road segment parameters according to a second clock associated with the one or more vehicle sensors or the one or more infrastructure devices,
time-synchronize the set of images and the plurality of road segment parameters according to a common clock based on an occurrence of a common event represented in the set of images and the plurality of road segment parameters
store the set of images and the plurality of road segment parameters such that the set of images and the plurality of road segment parameters are referenceable by a set of timestamps, and
analyze the set of images and the plurality of road segment parameters to identify one or more vehicle events, each characterized by a subset of the set of images and a subset of the plurality of road segment parameters.
