JOINT ROUTING OF TRANSPORTATION SERVICES FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES

Abstract:

Various examples are directed to a service assignment system for providing transportation services. The service assignment system may receive a transportation service request from a user. The transportation service request may describe a transportation service having a service start location and a service end location. The service assignment system may generate a plurality of routes for executing the transportation service. The service assignment system may send proposed route data describing at least a portion of the plurality of routes to a first autonomous vehicle (AV). The service assignment system may receive, from the first AV, route data describing a first route to execute the transportation service and send, to the first AV, instruction data instructing the first AV to begin executing the transportation service.
