Abstract

Tracking intrinsic and extrinsic vehicle parameters for optimizing vehicle performance is presented herein. A method can include consolidating sets of data associated with a vehicle to generate a model; generating, using the model, recommendation data representing a recommendation associated with an operation of the vehicle; and in response to receiving a request from a device of the vehicle corresponding to the operation of the vehicle, sending, based on the request, a message comprising the recommendation directed to the device of the vehicle. In an example, the method can further include determining, based on crowdsourced data representing the characteristic of the element of the vehicle, whether the characteristic satisfies a defined condition with respect to the operation of the vehicle.

Claims (54)

1. A method, comprising:

generating, by a system comprising a processor based on crowdsourced data with respect to network based communications representing a characteristic of an element of a vehicle, recommendation data representing a recommendation associated with an operation of the vehicle;

in response to receiving a request from a device of the vehicle, the request corresponding to the operation of the vehicle, sending, by the system, a message comprising the recommendation directed to the device of the vehicle; and

in response to the sending the message, receiving, by the system, feedback data from the device, the feedback data representing whether the recommendation has been implemented.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

consolidating, by the system, the crowdsourced data into a model that associates the characteristic with the recommendation.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the consolidating comprises:

receiving, from devices of a group of vehicles comprising the vehicle, sets of sensor data associated with the characteristic of the element of the vehicle; and

generating the model using the sets of sensor data.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the consolidating comprises:

receiving information representing a driving condition with respect to the operation of the vehicle; and

generating the model using the information representing the driving condition.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving comprises:

receiving the network based communications from a group of devices via an Internet based interface; and

generating, by the system, a model using the crowdsourced data.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the generating the recommendation data comprises:

in response to receiving, from the device of the vehicle, sensor data representing the characteristic of the element of the vehicle, determining, based on the sensor data, whether the characteristic satisfies a defined condition with respect to the operation of the vehicle.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the generating the recommendation data comprises:

in response to the characteristic being determined to satisfy the defined condition with respect to the operation of the vehicle, generating the recommendation data.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the generating the recommendation data comprises:

in response to receiving information representing a driving condition with respect to the operation of the vehicle, determining, based on the information, whether the characteristic of the element of the vehicle satisfies a defined condition with respect to the operation of the vehicle.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the generating the recommendation data comprises:

determining, based on the crowdsourced data, whether the characteristic of the element of the vehicle satisfies a defined condition with respect to the operation of the vehicle.

10. A system, comprising:

a processor, and

a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

generating, based on respective sets of data with respect to network based communications representing a characteristic of an element of a vehicle, a recommendation with respect to an operation of the vehicle;

in response to receiving a request corresponding to the operation of the vehicle from a device of the vehicle, sending the recommendation directed to the device of the vehicle; and

in response to the sending the recommendation, receiving, information from the device, the information indicating whether the recommendation has been applied.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the generating the recommendation comprises:

generating, based on the respective sets of data, a model associating the characteristic of the element of the vehicle with the recommendation.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the receiving comprises:

receiving the respective sets of data from a group of devices via an Internet based interface.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the generating the recommendation comprises:

receiving sensor data representing the characteristic of the element of the vehicle from the device of the vehicle; and

determining, based on the sensor data, whether the characteristic satisfies a defined condition with respect to the operation of the vehicle.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the operations further comprise:

in response to determining, based on the sensor data, that the characteristic satisfies the defined condition with respect to the operation of the vehicle, generating the recommendation.

15. The system of claim 10 , wherein the generating the recommendation comprises:

determining, based on the respective sets of data, whether the characteristic satisfies a defined condition with respect to the operation of the vehicle.

16. The system of claim 15 , further comprising:

in response to determining, based on the respective sets of data, that the characteristic satisfies the defined condition with respect to the operation of the vehicle, generating the recommendation.

17. A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

creating, based on network based communications comprising respective data representing a characteristic of an element of a vehicle, a recommendation with respect to an operation of the vehicle;

in response to receiving a request from a device of the vehicle corresponding to the operation of the vehicle, sending the recommendation directed to the device of the vehicle; and

in response to the sending the recommendation, receiving feedback data from the device, the feedback data representing whether the recommendation has been implemented.

18. The machine-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the creating the recommendation comprises:

in response to determining, based on the respective data, that the characteristic satisfies a defined condition with respect to the operation of the vehicle, creating the recommendation.

19. The machine-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the creating the recommendation comprises:

receiving sensor data representing the characteristic of the element of the vehicle from the device of the vehicle; and

in response to determining, based on the sensor data, that the characteristic satisfies a defined condition with respect to the operation of the vehicle, creating the recommendation.

20. The computer-readable storage device of claim 17 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving, from devices of a group of vehicles comprising the vehicle, sets of sensor data associated with the characteristic of the element of the vehicle; and

creating a model using the sets of sensor data.
