The massive use of vehicles as a primary means of transportation as well the increasing adoption of vehicles’ on-board sensors represents a unique opportunity for sensing and data collection. However, vehicles tend to cluster in specific regions such as highways and a few popular roads, making their utilization for data collection in isolated regions with low-density traffic difficult. We address this problem by proposing an incentive mechanism that encourages vehicles to deviate from their pre-planned trajectories to visit these isolated places. At the core of our proposal is the idea of compensation based on participants’ location diversity, which allows for rewarding vehicles in low-density traffic areas more than those located in high-density ones. We model this problem as a non-cooperative game in which participants are the vehicles and their new trajectories are their strategies. The output of this game is a new set of stable trajectories that maximize spatial coverage. Simulations show our approach outperforms the approach that doesn't take into account participants’ location diversity in terms of spatial coverage and road utilization.
