1. A method comprising:
fusing sensor-level data from a plurality of sensors to produce fused sensor data; and
allocating resources to sensors based on said fused sensor data,
wherein the data source of said fused sensor data comprises vehicle sensors and roadside sensors;
wherein the fused sensor data comprises data describing vehicle surroundings, weather data, vehicle attribute data, traffic state data, road information data, and traffic incident data;
wherein the sensors are configured to provide data for transportation behavior prediction and management, planning and decision-making, and vehicle control at a microscopic level; and
wherein said fused sensor data is provided to an intelligent road infrastructure system (IRIS) or to a connected and automated vehicle highway (CAVH) system; and
said IRIS or CAVH system provides customized control instructions comprising instructions for vehicle longitudinal acceleration and speed, vehicle lateral acceleration and speed, and vehicle orientation and direction to individual connected and automated vehicles.
