Cooperative task execution in instrumented roadway systems

A computer program product for relaying a sensor communication to a monitoring system by utilizing a crowdsourcing model, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage device, the computer readable storage device comprising computer executable instructions that cause a processing circuit to perform a method comprising:

• receiving, by a user-device, a request to gather a sensor communication from a sensor to the user-device;
• executing the request, via the user-device, by capturing the sensor communication emitted from a sensor from a plurality of road management sensors;
• examining, by the user-device, the sensor communication to identify a relay point to which the sensor communication is to be transmitted;
• and
• relaying, by the user-device, to the relay point, the sensor communication and a location of the sensor, wherein the relay point determines a first central monitoring system to which the sensor communication is to be forwarded in response to the sensor communication being indicative of a malfunction at the sensor, the relay point determines a second central monitoring system to which the sensor communication is to be forwarded in response to the sensor communication not being indicative of the malfunction at the sensor, and wherein the determination of a destination central monitoring system for the sensor communication is further based on attributes of the sensor communication, a timestamp at which the sensor communication is captured, and a location of the sensor initiating the sensor communication so that the destination central monitoring system communicates with a corresponding repair crew to be dispatched to the sensor in case of malfunction.

A system for relaying a sensor communication to a monitoring system by utilizing a crowdsourcing model, the system comprising:

• a user-device comprising:
• a memory;
• a processor communicatively coupled to the memory;
• and
• a module communicatively coupled to the memory and the processor, wherein the module is configured to perform a method comprising:
• receiving, by the user-device, a request to gather a sensor communication from a sensor to the user-device;
• executing the request, via the user-device, by capturing the sensor communication emitted from a sensor from a plurality of road management sensors;
• examining, by the user-device, the sensor communication to identify a relay point to which the sensor communication is to be transmitted;
