Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for monitoring vehicles traversing a roadway using acoustic sensors. In some implementations, a server obtains data from an acoustic sensor monitoring road actors traversing a roadway at a first location. The server obtains data from an imaging sensor monitoring the road actors traversing the roadway at a second location. The server generates correlation data using the data from the acoustic sensor and the data from the imaging sensor. The server determines observations of the road actors traversing the roadway using the data from the acoustic sensor and the data from the imaging sensor. The server trains a machine-learning model to estimate characteristics of the road actors using the correlation data and the determined observations of the road actors from the imaging sensor and the acoustic sensor.

Claims (40)

1 . (canceled)

2 . A computer-implemented method comprising:

obtaining an image data of a vehicle from a video recording device that is monitoring a segment of a roadway;

in response to obtaining the image data, storing data that associates the vehicle with the segment of the roadway that is monitored by the camera;

obtaining audio data from an audio recording device that is monitoring a different segment of the roadway that is outside of a field of view of the video recording device;

determining that the vehicle is associated with the audio data; and

storing data that associated the vehicle with the different segment of the roadway that is monitored by the audio recording device and that is outside of the field of view of the video recording device.

3 . The method of claim 2 , comprising providing the image data and the audio data to a machine learning model that outputs vehicle characteristics.

4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the audio data is of the vehicle driving over deformities that are made in the roadway.

5 . The method of claim 2 , comprising providing the audio data to a machine learning model that outputs an indication of whether the vehicle is driving a wrong direction on the roadway.

6 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the audio recording device is one of multiple audio recording devices that are placed at predetermined intervals along the roadway.

7 . The method of claim 2 , comprising transmitting the data that associates the vehicle with the segment of the roadway that is monitored by the camera, to the audio recording device.

8 . The method of claim 2 , comprising determining one or more characteristics of the vehicle based on the image data.

9 . A system comprising:

one or more computer processors; and

one or more non-transitory computer-readable media that store instructions which, when executed by the one or more computer processors, cause the one or more computer processors to perform operations comprising:

obtaining an image data of a vehicle from a video recording device that is monitoring a segment of a roadway;

in response to obtaining the image data, storing data that associates the vehicle with the segment of the roadway that is monitored by the camera;

obtaining audio data from an audio recording device that is monitoring a different segment of the roadway that is outside of a field of view of the video recording device;

determining that the vehicle is associated with the audio data; and

storing data that associated the vehicle with the different segment of the roadway that is monitored by the audio recording device and that is outside of the field of view of the video recording device.

10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations comprise providing the image data and the audio data to a machine learning model that outputs vehicle characteristics.

11 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the audio data is of the vehicle driving over deformities that are made in the roadway.

12 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations comprise providing the audio data to a machine learning model that outputs an indication of whether the vehicle is driving a wrong direction on the roadway.

13 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the audio recording device is one of multiple audio recording devices that are placed at predetermined intervals along the roadway.

14 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations comprise transmitting the data that associates the vehicle with the segment of the roadway that is monitored by the camera, to the audio recording device.

15 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations comprise determining one or more characteristics of the vehicle based on the image data.

16 . A system comprising:

one or more computer processors; and

one or more non-transitory computer-readable media that store instructions which, when executed by the one or more computer processors, cause the one or more computer processors to perform operations comprising:

obtaining an image data of a vehicle from a video recording device that is monitoring a segment of a roadway;

in response to obtaining the image data, storing data that associates the vehicle with the segment of the roadway that is monitored by the camera;

obtaining audio data from an audio recording device that is monitoring a different segment of the roadway that is outside of a field of view of the video recording device;

determining that the vehicle is associated with the audio data; and

storing data that associated the vehicle with the different segment of the roadway that is monitored by the audio recording device and that is outside of the field of view of the video recording device.

17 . The media of claim 16 , wherein the operations comprise providing the image data and the audio data to a machine learning model that outputs vehicle characteristics.

18 . The media of claim 16 , wherein the audio data is of the vehicle driving over deformities that are made in the roadway.

19 . The media of claim 16 , wherein the operations comprise providing the audio data to a machine learning model that outputs an indication of whether the vehicle is driving a wrong direction on the roadway.

20 . The media of claim 16 , wherein the audio recording device is one of multiple audio recording devices that are placed at predetermined intervals along the roadway.

21 . The media of claim 16 , wherein the operations comprise transmitting the data that associates the vehicle with the segment of the roadway that is monitored by the camera, to the audio recording device.
