Systems and methods for improved smart infrastructure data transfer

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing computer-executable instructions, that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• identify that a software update is available for a smart infrastructure system;
• determine, using a signal strength between a first vehicle and the smart infrastructure system, that the first vehicle is within a threshold distance to a fixed location of the smart infrastructure system;
• establish a first ad-hoc peer-to-peer communication link with the first vehicle based on a calculation of a length of time that the first vehicle will remain in communication range of the smart infrastructure system, and a calculation of an amount of the software update that can be transferred during the calculated length of time;
• send, to the first vehicle, a request for the software update;
• and
• receive, by the smart infrastructure system and from the first vehicle, at least a first portion of the software update that is transferred using the first ad-hoc peer-to-peer communication link.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:

• identifying that a software update is available for a smart infrastructure system located relative to a fixed location;
• determining that a first vehicle is within a threshold range of the fixed location of the smart infrastructure system using a signal strength between the first vehicle and the smart infrastructure system;
• establishing, by the smart infrastructure system, a first ad-hoc peer-to-peer communication link with the first vehicle based on a calculation of a length of time that the first vehicle will remain in communication range of the smart infrastructure system and a calculation of an amount of the software update that can be transferred during the calculated length of time;
• sending, to the first vehicle, a request for the software update;
• and
• receiving, by the smart infrastructure system and from the first vehicle, at least a first portion of the software update that is transferred using the first ad-hoc peer-to-peer communication link.
