Abstract: using key performance indicator (kpi) data sensed by vehicles is provided. a data server is programmed to receive, over a wide-area network from a plurality of vehicles, connectivity data of modems of the plurality of vehicles to the wide-area network, the connectivity data indicating kpi data, which road segment was being traversed when the kpi data was captured, and a time period during which the kpi data was captured. the data server is further programmed to identify outlier data elements in the kpi data using outlier detection criteria; and compile the kpi data per road segment and time period excluding the outlier data elements.

Abstract: scheduling communications using a plurality of wireless interfaces is provided. signals are monitored that are received from a first antenna configured to send and/or receive first messages over a first message protocol. using the signals, time slot information is updated that is indicative of which equally-sized consecutive future time slots the first antenna is predicted to transmit and/or receive the first messages. a transmission is scheduled of a second message over a second antenna configured to send and/or receive second messages over a second message protocol using the time slot information to avoid out-of-band emission (oobe) interference.
