PREDICTING UTILIZATION OF AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE AND MANAGING TRAVEL DEMAND

Abstract:

An approach for predicting utilization of autonomous vehicles for a specified time range and optimizing the utilization of the autonomous vehicles is disclosed. The approach leverages machine learning to send targeted advertising to potential passengers. The approach determines which potential passengers will have a high likelihood of accepting a targeted request. Additionally, the approach will further optimize the autonomous vehicles utilization by using multiple autonomous vehicles for a single passenger.
