Systems and methods to verify road conditions through vehicle data

A computing system for detecting and verifying obstructions on a road comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory coupled to the one or more processors to store instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:
• detecting, from road conditions data, an obstruction;
• determining a vehicle movement pattern according to the obstruction;
• generating a verification strategy according to the obstruction and the vehicle movement pattern;
• selecting a subset of vehicles to verify the obstruction;
• controlling the subset of vehicles in accordance with the verification strategy to collect verification data on the obstruction, wherein controlling the subset of vehicles in accordance with the verification strategy comprises routing each of the subset of vehicles to encounter the obstruction and navigating each of the subset of vehicles around the obstruction according to the vehicle movement pattern;
• receiving the verification data on the obstruction from the subset of vehicles;
• and
• verifying the obstruction based on the verification data.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium having instructions stored therein, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• detecting an obstruction based on road conditions data;
• determining a vehicle movement pattern according to the obstruction;
• generating a verification strategy according to the obstruction and the vehicle movement pattern;
• selecting a subset of vehicles to verify the obstruction;
• controlling the subset of vehicles in accordance with the verification strategy to collect verification data on the obstruction, wherein controlling the subset of vehicles in accordance with the verification strategy comprises routing each of the subset of vehicles to encounter the obstruction and navigating each of the subset of vehicles around the obstruction according to the vehicle movement pattern;
• receiving the verification data on the obstruction from the subset of vehicles;
• and
• verifying the obstruction based on the verification data.
