ROAD SURVEY DATA ACQUISITION WITH AUTOMATIC DETERMINATION OF START AND END POINTS FOR ROAD SECTIONS AND SEGMENTS

Described are systems and techniques for road surveying. Information indicative of a sequence of target road sections each comprising one or more road segments can be used to configure a vehicle to perform a road survey by traveling each target road section of the sequence. Data acquisition can be started from onboard sensors of the vehicle based on detecting a first trigger event where a current position of the vehicle is within a configured threshold distance from a first target road section of the sequence. Respective road survey data can be obtained for each road segment in each target road section of the sequence, and can comprise a subset of acquired data obtained from the onboard sensors between a corresponding start and end point automatically determined for the respective road segment based on detecting the occurrence of trigger events corresponding to the current vehicle position and/or heading.
