Systems and methods for vehicle geofencing management

1. A method for adjusting desired vehicle operation in a geofenced region, the method comprising the steps of:

receiving geofencing data from within a vehicle comprising a location tracking system;

determining whether the vehicle has entered a geofenced region defined by the geofencing data;

upon determining that the vehicle has entered the geofenced region, transmitting a notification to an authority;

receiving a request from the authority, the request comprising a request for information to identify a predetermined target; and

responding to the request with an action comprising at least one of adjusting an operational parameter of a system within the vehicle impacting movement of the vehicle, adjusting an environmental parameter of a system within the vehicle relating to sensing of the vehicle's surroundings, and transmitting vehicle environmental data to the authority comprising information regarding the vehicle's surroundings to provide information to the authority usable to increase a likelihood of identifying the predetermined target.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request further comprises a command.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined target comprises a target vehicle.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the action comprises adjusting an operational parameter of a remote object detection system of the vehicle to increase the likelihood of detecting the target vehicle.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the remote object detection system comprises at least one of a RADAR sensor, a visual camera, and a LIDAR sensor.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the action comprises opening a hidden functional layer within the remote object detection system.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the hidden functional layer is configured to search for a predetermined license plate number of the target vehicle.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the hidden functional layer is configured to search for vehicles moving at a speed above a threshold speed.

9. A method for providing environmental data from within a geofenced vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:

receiving geofencing data from within a vehicle, wherein the vehicle comprises:

a location tracking system; and

an environmental sensor system configured to generate vehicle environmental data regarding the vehicle's surroundings;

following the vehicle entering a geofenced region, receiving a request from an authority for information to identify a predetermined target vehicle;

upon receiving the request from the authority, adjusting a parameter of the environmental sensor system to increase a likelihood of identifying the predetermined target vehicle; and

transmitting vehicle environmental data to the authority comprising information regarding the vehicle's surroundings.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the request further comprises a request for information to identify traffic in the geofenced region.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the environmental sensor system comprises a camera, and wherein the step of transmitting vehicle environmental data to the authority comprises transmitting a live stream of video from the camera.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the step of transmitting vehicle environmental data to the authority comprises:

storing environmental data from the environmental sensor system;

awaiting a trigger event; and

upon detecting the trigger event, transmitting the stored environmental data to the authority.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the trigger event comprises confirming the detection of a target requested by the authority.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the step of adjusting a parameter of the environmental sensor system comprises adjusting a parameter of an object classification module of the vehicle.
