Systems and methods for weather data distribution
In one example, a computer-implemented method of generating a weather product is disclosed that comprises receiving a product generation input, the product generation input being indicative of a weather product. The method further comprises retrieving a weather data point, based on the product generation input. Further, the method comprises analyzing the weather data point with a weather analysis component to identify weather parameters relevant to the weather product. In addition, the method comprises generating the weather product to include the identified relevant weather parameters.
1. A method performed by a computing system, the method comprising:
identifying a geographic location of interest to generate roadway condition information;
identifying a client device based on the identified geographic location of interest;
sending a communication over a communication network to the identified client device, the communication requesting sensor data indicative of a roadway condition in the identified geographic location of interest;
receiving, from the identified client device in response to the communication, the sensor data acquired from one or more sensors;
generating the roadway condition information based on the received sensor data;
determining an incentive metric based on distribution of the generated roadway condition information; and
generating a data record that assigns the incentive metric to the client device.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more sensors comprise one or more imaging sensors.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the client device comprises a mobile device associated with a user and the one or more imaging sensors comprise one or more cameras.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the one or more imaging sensors are separate from the client device, and the client device acquires the sensor data from the one or more imaging sensors over a communication link.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sensor data is indicative of a weather condition at the geographic location of interest.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the sensor data indicative of a weather condition at the geographic location of interest comprises an indication relative to precipitation at the geographic location of interest.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the client device is associated with a vehicle.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more sensors are associated with a vehicle.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sensor data is indicative of a traffic condition at the geographic location of interest.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the sensor data comprises receiving the sensor data from the client device over one of a plurality of different communication channels associated with the client device.
11. A computing system comprising:
at least one processor; and
memory storing instructions executable by the at least one processor, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the computing system to:
identify a geographic location of interest to generate roadway condition information;
identify a client device in the geographic location of interest based on the identified geographic location of interest;
send a communication over a communication network to the identified client device, the communication requesting sensor data indicative of a roadway condition in the identified geographic location of interest;
receive, from the identified client device in response to the communication, the sensor data acquired from one or more sensors;
generate the roadway condition information based on the received sensor data; and
determine an incentive metric based on distribution of the generated roadway condition information; and
generate a data record that assigns the incentive metric to the client device.
12. The computing system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more sensors comprise one or more imaging sensors.
13. The computing system of claim 12 , wherein the client device comprises a mobile device associated with a user and the one or more imaging sensors comprise one or more cameras.
14. The computing system of claim 12 , wherein the one or more imaging sensors are separate from the client device, and the client device acquires the sensor data from the one or more imaging sensors over a communication link.
15. The computing system of claim 11 , wherein the sensor data is indicative of a weather condition at the geographic location of interest.
16. The computing system of claim 15 , wherein the sensor data indicative of a weather condition at the geographic location of interest comprises and indication relative to precipitation at the geographic location of interest.
17. The computing system of claim 11 , wherein the client device is associated with a vehicle.
18. The computing system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more sensors are associated with a vehicle.
19. The computing system of claim 11 , wherein the sensor data is indicative of a traffic condition at the geographic location of interest.
20. The computing system of claim 11 , wherein receiving the sensor data comprises receiving the sensor data from the client device over one of a plurality of different communication channels associated with the client device.
