METHOD OF SELECTING A ROUTE FOR RECORDING VEHICLE

The computer-implemented method, carried out by a vehicle data recording device (140), includes: downloading, from a host data collecting system (200), a recording target, determining a plurality of possible routes for the vehicle (100); for each route, generating a route encoding in numerical values an information on predicted values of said route for metrics, a metric being a function assigning a value representing an amount of progress in achieving an elementary recording target to a piece of data; providing the route encodings and additional environmental information independent of the routes to a reinforcement learning agent that selects one of the routes in order to optimize a reward; recording data from in-vehicle sources (110) while the vehicle drives along the selected route; uploading at least part of the recording data to the host data collecting system and, in return, receiving a reward for the reinforcement learning agent.
