1. A system, comprising a computer including a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor programmed to:
receive sensing metric datasets from a first plurality of vehicles for each of a plurality of nodes having an assigned region for an area of interest;
determine, for each node, whether a first threshold number of sensing metric datasets have been received in a last predetermined time window sufficient to provide sensing metrics for the node; and
upon expiration of a predetermined period, provide a sensing metrics map for the area of interest based upon sensing metric datasets received in the last predetermined time window to a second plurality of vehicles; wherein one of the second plurality of vehicles is actuated according to the sensing metric map.
