Abstract

This disclosure is directed to techniques for storing vehicle data. For instance, system(s) may receive first vehicle data generated by first vehicles operating in a first geographic area. The system(s) may then store the first vehicle data in a first memory. Additionally, the system(s) may determine a type of vehicle data to request from other system(s). The system(s) may then send the other system(s) a request for the type of vehicle data. Based on sending the request, the systems may receive second vehicle data that includes the type of vehicle data, where the second vehicle data is generated by second vehicles operating in a second geographic area. The system(s) may then store the second vehicle data in a second memory. The first memory may be a first type of memory and the second memory may be a second type of memory that is different than the first type of memory.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

one or more processors;
and
one or more computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
receiving first vehicle data generated by one or more first vehicles located within a first geographic area;
storing the first vehicle data in a first memory associated with the first geographic area, the first memory being a first type of memory comprising a first latency for data retrieval and a first period of time for data storage;
receiving, from a user device, a first request associated with the first geographic area;
determining, based at least in part on the first request, a vehicle data type;
determining, based at least in part on the vehicle data type and the first vehicle data, to retrieve second vehicle data from an additional system associated with a second geographic area, wherein the second vehicle data is generated by one or more second vehicles located within the second geographic area and stored in a second memory associated with the second geographic area, the second memory being the first type of memory;
retrieving the second vehicle data from the additional system;
storing the second vehicle data in a third memory associated with the first geographic area, the third memory being a second type of memory, the second type of memory comprising a second latency for data retrieval and a second period of time for data storage, wherein the second latency is a lower latency for data retrieval than the first latency;
receiving, from the user device or another user device, a second request comprising an indication of the second vehicle data, wherein the second request is different from the first request;
and
sending, to the user device or the another user device, the second vehicle data stored in the third memory.

10 more elements

A method comprising:

receiving first vehicle data generated by one or more first vehicles located within a first geographic area;
storing the first vehicle data in a first memory associated with the first geographic area, the first memory being a first type of memory comprising a first latency for data retrieval and a first period of time for data storage;
receiving a first request associated with the first geographic area;
determining, based at least in part on the first request, a type of vehicle data;
determining, based at least in part on the type of vehicle data, to retrieve second vehicle data from a system associated with a second geographic area, wherein the second vehicle data is generated by one or more second vehicles located within the second geographic area and stored in a second memory associated with the second geographic area, the second memory being the first type of memory;
receiving the second vehicle data from the system associated with the second geographic area;
and
storing the second vehicle data in a third memory associated with the first geographic area, the third memory being a second type of memory that is different than the first type of memory based at least in part on the second type of memory comprising a second latency for data retrieval and a second period of time for data storage.

5 more elements

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

receiving first vehicle data generated by one or more first vehicles located within a first geographic area;
storing the first vehicle data in a first memory associated with the first geographic area, the first memory being a first type of memory comprising a first latency for data retrieval and a first period of time for data storage;
receiving a first request associated with the first geographic area;
determining, based at least in part on the first request, a type of vehicle data;
determining, based at least in part on the type of vehicle data, to retrieve second vehicle data from a system associated with a second geographic area, wherein the second vehicle data is generated by one or more second vehicles located within the second geographic area and stored in a second memory associated with the second geographic area, the second memory being the first type of memory;
receiving the second vehicle data from the system associated with the second geographic area;
and
storing the second vehicle data in a third memory associated with the first geographic area, the third memory being a second type of memory that is different than the first type of memory based at least in part on the second type of memory comprising a second latency for data retrieval and a second period of time for data storage.
