Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods of operating the same are described. A sensor system including a sensor, a processor, and a communication subsystem. The sensor may measure a defined area of a path located below the sensor system to obtain a sensor measurement. The processor may be coupled to the sensor. The processor may determine at least one of environmental condition information within the defined area or characteristic information associated with an object within the defined area using the sensor measurement. The communication subsystem may be coupled to the processor. The communication subsystem may send at least one of the environmental condition information or the characteristic information to a communication system of a vehicle.

Claim (Index 1):
A sensor assistance system, comprising:\n a sensor support structure configured to hold a sensor system above a roadway at a defined height; and the sensor system connected to the sensor support structure, the sensor system comprising:\n a first sensor to capture a first sensor measurement within a defined area of the road below the sensor system; \n a communication subsystem to receive vehicle information from a vehicle wherein the vehicle information indicates at least one of a type of the vehicle or a capability of the vehicle; and \n a processing device coupled to the first sensor and the communication subsystem, the processing device to:\n receive a second sensor measurement taken by a second sensor of the vehicle, wherein:\n the second sensor is a different type of sensor than the first sensor; and \n the second sensor measurement indicates there is an object within the defined area of the road, wherein the defined area is an area below the sensor system; \n \n determine that the second sensor measurement includes interference that obscures identification of the object based on the second sensor measurement \n aggregate the first sensor measurement from the first sensor with the second sensor measurement from the second sensor to obtain aggregated sensor information; \n generate a scene description of an area approximate the vehicle that includes the object based on the aggregated sensor information, wherein an accuracy of the scene description is increased when based on the aggregated sensor information; \n adjust the scene description based on the vehicle information; and send the scene description to a communication system of the vehicle.
