METHOD OF COLLECTING DATA FROM FLEET OF VEHICLES

A method, carried out in a vehicle (100), includes: a) downloading over-the-air from a host system (200) a data collection target including a data value metric that is a function assigning a data value to a piece of data at a given point in time, representing an amount of progress towards an atomic collection target; b) collecting data from data sources (110) in the vehicle (100) over time while the vehicle (100) is driving; c) recording the collected data in a storing module (142); d) computing the data values of the recording data, according to the data value metric; e) selecting, from the recording data, recording data snippets of high value within a time window, based on the computed data values; f) uploading only the selected recording data snippets of high value to the host system (200) over-the-air.
