Apparatuses and methods of operating the same are described. A sensor system including a sensor, a processor, and a communication subsystem. The sensor may measure a defined area of a path located below the sensor system to obtain a sensor measurement. The processor may be coupled to the sensor. The processor may determine at least one of environmental condition information within the defined area or characteristic information associated with an object within the defined area using the sensor measurement. The communication subsystem may be coupled to the processor. The communication subsystem may send at least one of the environmental condition information or the characteristic information to a communication system of a vehicle.
