Group sensing is a kind of crowdsensing service where HD map producers motivate private cars in a local region to collect data from real world. Group sensing needs vehicles to communicate physically and drivers to collaborate strategically in a mobile or edgeassisted environment. First, we consider collaboration module that motivates drivers to be participants; centralized and distributed motivating methods are discussed. Secondly, we consider communication module; two VANET-based methods are proposed to achieve message relaying in edge infrastructure. To accomplish participants' selection, three combinations of two modules are proposed and simulated based on a flexible framework. The results show that centralized selection could motivate collaboration at a low price but brings heavy communication overhead. Clustered selection requires more incentives and less communication overhead than centralized selection. Distributed selection is usually the first class choice because of its fine performances on both communicating and motivating.
Yang et al. REF considered designing incentive mechanisms for motivating private cars in a local region to collect data for HD map producers.
