Method and system for a sensor trigger hub

A method comprising:

• receiving a first pulse per second (PPS) signal generated by a global positioning system (GPS) receiver disposed in a vehicle having a plurality of sensors;
• monitoring the first PPS signal generated by the GPS receiver for an indication of a presence and a frequency of the first PPS signal within a predetermined threshold;
• generating, in response to a determination the indication of the presence and the frequency of the first PPS signal are within the predetermined threshold, a second PPS signal synchronized with the first PPS signal;
• generating, based on an input of the second PPS signal, a plurality of trigger signals, each of the generated plurality of trigger signals being selectively programmatically adjustable to adjust at least one of frequency and phase offsets of each of the plurality of generated plurality of trigger signals, the selectively adjustability of each of the generated plurality of trigger signals being independent of the other generated plurality of trigger signals;
• and
• transmitting at least one of the generated plurality of trigger signals to one or more of the sensors in the vehicle.

A vehicle comprising:

• a plurality of sensors;
• a global positioning system (GPS) receiver disposed in the vehicle;
• and
• a system disposed in the vehicle and coupled to the plurality of sensors and the GPS receiver via a communication bus, the system comprising:
• a first component to:
• receive a first pulse per second (PPS) signal generated by the GPS receiver;
• monitor the first PPS signal generated by the GPS receiver for an indication of a presence and a frequency of the first PPS signal within a predetermined threshold;
• and
• generate, in response to a determination the indication of the presence and the frequency of the first PPS signal are within the predetermined threshold, a second PPS signal synchronized with the first PPS signal;
• and
• a second component to:
• generate, based on an input of the second PPS signal, a plurality of trigger signals, each of the generated plurality of trigger signals being selectively programmatically adjustable to adjust at least one of frequency and phase offsets of each of the plurality of generated plurality of trigger signals, the selectively adjustability of each of the generated plurality of trigger signals being independent of the other generated plurality of trigger signals;
• and
• transmit at least one of the generated plurality of trigger signals to one or more of the sensors.
