There is an increasing popularity in exploiting modern vehicles as mobile sensors to obtain important road information such as potholes, black ice and road profile. Availability of such information has been identified as a key enabler for next-generation vehicles with enhanced safety, efficiency, and comfort. However, existing road information discovery approaches have been predominately performed in a single-vehicle setting, which is inevitably susceptible to vehicle model uncertainty and measurement errors. To overcome these limitations, this paper presents a novel cloud-assisted collaborative estimation framework that can utilize multiple heterogeneous vehicles to iteratively enhance estimation performance. Specifically, each vehicle combines its onboard measurements with a cloud-based Gaussian process (GP), crowdsourced from prior participating vehicles as “pseudo-measurements”, into a local estimator to refine the estimation. The resultant local onboard estimation is then sent back to the cloud to update the GP, where we utilize a noisy input GP (NIGP) method to explicitly handle uncertain GPS measurements. We employ the proposed framework to the application of collaborative road profile estimation. Promising results on extensive simulations and hardware-in-the-loop experiments show that the proposed collaborative estimation can significantly enhance estimation and iteratively improve the performance from vehicle to vehicle, despite vehicle heterogeneity, model uncertainty, and measurement noises.
