Route management utilizing geolocation based clustering

Abstract:

A method for route management based on geolocation based clustering includes receiving data collected from a plurality of vehicles for a plurality of clusters. The method generates an initial set of rules for the plurality of vehicles operating in each cluster from the plurality of clusters based on the data collected from the plurality of vehicles. The method determines a first cluster out of the plurality of cluster based on a geolocation of a first vehicle traveling along a route. Responsive to identifying a set of cluster specific rules for the first cluster, the method determines a first hardware requirement out of the plurality of hardware requirements defined by the set of cluster specific rules is not present on the vehicle. The method identifies an alternative cluster based on the first hardware requirement being absent and instructs the vehicle to travel to the alternative cluster.
